Karnec Jean Etienne
French Impressionist View of Boats in a Port, 'The Seine at Rouen'. Oil on Wood.

1900

About the Item

Late 19th century Impressionist oil, view of boats in a port, possibly Rouen, by Jean Etienne Karnec. Signed bottom left. Painted on fine chamfered hardwood panel with a trade stamp for Morin and Janet who supplied the panel. Artist's notation to the back of the panel. The painting is presented in a hand-carved gilt period frame. Karnec has beautifully captured the architecture of buildings surrounding and the boats in the port all under a colourful impressionist sky, probably at sunset. His brushstrokes impart a vivacity to the scene full of colour and interest but with his characteristic Impressionist style. A very charming and successful painting. The port of Rouen was a subject captured by many of the great Impressionist painters including Monet, Pissarro, Lebourg and even Gauguin. Jean Etienne Karnec was born in Austria in 1865. Having completed his studies he moved to Rouen in France and from there he travelled and painted widely in France, Italy and the Orient. He became well known for his city and marine views and waterscapes capturing the romanticism of time and place. His technique is Impressionist but with a use of thick impasto technique in parts, such as on this painting.

  • French Impressionist View of Paris, Le Pont Marie and Île Saint-Louis
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    French Impressionist oil on board view of a fisherman at the riverbank of the Seine in Paris next to the Bridge St Marie, with the old spire of Notre Dame in the distance. The painting is initial signed, located and dated bottom left. Presented in a patinated wood frame. There is a trade label for the Rowley Gallery in Kensington Church Street to the backboard. A charming Impressionist painting of an iconic Parisian view. The Seine with all its reflected colours passing beneath the arches of an ancient bridge, a church spire just visible through the canopy of the trees, colourful boats moored, a fisherman sitting in the shade of the riverbank hopeful of a catch. The artist has managed to capture all the languid, quiet beauty of the scene in the midst of a bustling metropolis which is Paris. The water in the Seine is full of colour and nuance and the green of the trees give the painting a freshness. A very accomplished composition beautifully executed. Le Pont Marie crossing the Seine in Paris. The bridge links the Île Saint-Louis to the quai de l'Hôtel de Ville and is one of three bridges designed to allow flow between the Île Saint-Louis and the Left and Right banks...
