Jean Baptiste Olive'Paysage Marin' French Impressionist Painting of Morbihan, coastline, boats, sea
About the Item
'Paysage Marin' is an exceptionally powerful work. Olive has visibly used both a brush and a palette knife. As on a painting palette, the painter has mixed his colours directly on the panel. The gesture is spirited and confident. Contrary to his habit, Olive did not prepare the panel; he painted this marine "in reserve", leaving the support to appear in multiple places, playing with the colour of the wood. Olive would have applied his colours almost without any preparatory drawing or only after a quick sketch on the wood. Olive who was from Marseille adored the sea, he observed it all his life; he painted it like no one else. In this intelligent composition, Olive shows his talent and knowledge of the Mediterranean Sea, whose colours vary according to the sea bed, the sky and the wind. The sea passes in front of and behind the rocks, the indented coastline causes the white foam that illuminates the painting. From blue to purple, from pure white to green, the waters are moving. Finally, the coastline and the rocks are painted with the same freedom where the impressionist treatment is based on an undeniable quality of drawing.
Olive, the son of a wine merchant, was born in Marseille's Saint-Martin neighbourhood. Étienne Cornellier, a decorator, encouraged him to register at École des beaux-arts de Marseille where he studied under the guidance of Joanny Rave. There he received several awards including, in 1871, the live model class's first prize. While training as a decorator, he painted many scenes of Marseille, its Vieux-Port, its islands, and its seashore. In 1874 he travelled to Italy, mainly to Genoa and Venice. He occasionally participated in some of Provence's exhibitions at the time. Although he was relatively little-known outside of France – unlike his Marseillais fellow citizen Adolphe Monticelli – Olive has become one of Provence's most iconic painters and an emblematic figure of the French marine art movement. While proud of his Marseille origins, the introverted Olive long remained doubtful of his own painting talent. His favourite themes were the sea, seashores and ports. His views of le Vieux-Port, in which the rendering of light compares to that of Félix Ziem's paintings, are especially well-known, together with his calanques (a local term for cliff-edged inlets along the coast between Marseille and La Ciotat). His views of le Vieux-Port depict it as seen from offshore, not from the ground. His still lifes, the early ones frugal, the later ones more opulent and varied, generally focus on Provence fruits and ornamental tableware.
