Pier Paintings

Barcelona Marina with Reflections, Mediterranean Harbor Oil Painting Artist: Rafael Durán Benet Title: Barcelona Harbor Medium: Oil on canvas laid on board Dimensions Height: 50 cm (19.7 in) Width: 61 cm (24 in) Signature Signed lower right “R. Durán”. Frame Unframed. Condition Very good condition. Stable support and well-preserved paint surface. Origin Spain. Period Late 20th century. Atmospheric harbor view of Barcelona painted by Catalan artist Rafael Durán Benet. The composition depicts a marina filled with small boats moored along a wooden pier, their hulls and masts reflected in the calm water of the harbor. The diagonal structure of the pier leads the viewer’s eye into the scene while the vertical rhythm of the masts creates a lively pattern across the skyline. In the background, the architecture of the Barcelona waterfront appears bathed in Mediterranean light, with palm trees and pale façades dissolving softly into the atmosphere. The painting is particularly notable for its treatment of water. Loose brushwork and subtle color variations capture the shifting reflections of boats, masts and buildings, creating a dynamic surface that gives movement and depth to the scene. Durán’s palette combines cool marine blues with warm ochres and oranges, evoking the luminous coastal atmosphere characteristic of the Mediterranean. The result is a vibrant harbor scene that balances urban architecture, maritime life and shimmering reflections. Rafael Durán Benet was a Catalan painter born in Terrassa who developed much of his artistic career in Barcelona. Specializing in urban landscapes and Mediterranean coastal scenes, Durán created numerous views of Barcelona’s harbor and the Catalan coastline. His work reflects a strong impressionist influence, focusing on the capture of light, atmosphere and reflections on water. Through a fluid brushstroke and a vibrant palette, he developed a recognizable style centered on the visual poetry of Mediterranean maritime life.

Mid Century Barcelona Harbor Sailboats Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Painting Artist: Rafael Durán Benet Medium: Oil on canvas laid on board Dimensions: 50 × 61 cm (19.7 × 24 in) Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with visible original brushwork Origin: Spain Period: Mid-20th century Expressive Mediterranean harbor scene depicting sailboats moored in the port of Barcelona by Spanish painter Rafael Durán Benet. The composition captures the luminous waterfront architecture reflected across calm harbor waters, structured by vertical masts and rhythmic dock lines that organize the pictorial space with clarity and balance. Loose impressionist brushwork and a refined palette of blues, violets and warm reflected tones create a vibrant atmospheric surface characteristic of mid-century Mediterranean coastal painting. Particularly notable is the treatment of reflections, executed through layered strokes that enhance depth and movement while reinforcing the decorative strength of the composition. Barcelona harbor scenes remain among the most desirable subjects within Spanish Mediterranean painting due to their architectural identity and strong interior presence. This work belongs to the Catalan Mediterranean luminist tradition associated with Joaquim Mir and Eliseu Meifrèn. Its reflective harbor treatment also connects with the broader European marine painting lineage of Paul Signac and Henri Le Sidaner. Rafael Durán Benet (Barcelona, 1931–2015) was a Spanish painter recognized for Mediterranean harbor scenes, coastal landscapes and urban views of Barcelona. Working within the Catalan postwar impressionist tradition, he developed a luminous pictorial language centered on reflections, atmosphere and architectural shoreline compositions. His paintings of the Barcelona waterfront remain among the most characteristic subjects of his production and are held today in private collections across Spain and Europe.

Title: Beached Fishing Boats on Mediterranean Shore Coastal Watercolour by Pierre Neveu Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed Size (H x W): 8.75 x 6 inches Condition: good overall; clean surface and bright palette with minimal handling marks. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: In this exquisite Mediterranean harbour scene, Pierre Neveu captures a row of fishing boats resting on the sun-bleached shore — their hulls painted in vivid blues, yellows, and reds, glowing against the white sand and turquoise sea beyond. The composition balances stillness and vitality: the boats lie quietly in the midday heat, yet every line and shadow suggests movement, texture, and light. Neveu’s masterful handling of watercolour transparency lends the work its distinctive luminosity. Cool washes of aquamarine and indigo melt into warm ochres and siennas, evoking the sharp coastal light of the French Riviera or southern Italy. The artist’s loose, confident brushstrokes and layered perspective show both precision and spontaneity — hallmarks of his plein-air approach. The painting embodies Neveu’s fascination with everyday maritime life, transforming the humble working boats of the Mediterranean into studies of rhythm, geometry, and colour harmony. There is an intimacy here — a sense of the artist pausing mid-journey, quietly observing the relationship between land, sea, and human craft. This is a quintessential Neveu composition: joyful yet restrained, rooted in observation yet lifted by artistic freedom. A perfect choice for collectors of vintage coastal paintings...

This work by Lucien Adrion is a wonderful representation of his Post-Impressionist works at the seashore by the French Riviera. Using a bright palette of colors, Adrion executes this piece with much attention to detail with many boats situated along the marina. There are palm trees and buildings placed in the distance, as we can feel the warmth of the sun contrasted with the cool breeze of the water. The boats are wonderfully executed by the artist in a very whimsical way that leaves us with an essence of enjoyment from that sunny day at the marina. As this tourist destination was a favorite of the artist to find inspiration and highly attractive subjects and compositions to represent, we can find several of his works like this subject and others. The piece is signed by the artist lower left and it comes housed in a French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 19 x 23.5 inches Frame measures 27 x 32 inches Lucien Adrion was born May 25, 1889 in Strasbourg, France. He was a French Post-Impressionist painter, draftsman, and printmaker known for his depictions of the French countryside and beaches, as well as Parisian life including landscape, still life, figure, and landmarks paintings. He began his initial studies in Strasbourg as a technical draughtsman. In 1907, at the age of 18, he left his hometown Strasbourg and traveled to Paris, where he found employment in a large drafting company to work as a fashion illustrator. Adrion changed his mind upon arrival and rather than working for a large company, he decided to peruse his artistic career by traveling to London, Munich, and Frankfurt. As the World War broke out he had to go to Berlin, where he studied as an engraver with Hermann Struck, who was also the teacher of Marc Chagall. He remained in Berlin until the war ended and after the demobilization, Lucien would study engraving under Franz Ritter von Struck...

Impressionist Mediterranean Harbor Painting Port de la Selva Costa Brava Fishing Boats Oil Canvas Artist: Lazarotti Title: Port de la Selva Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm (23.6 × 28.7 in) Signature: Signed lower right Inscription: Titled on reverse Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with original impasto visible Origin: Spain Atmospheric Mediterranean harbor scene depicting Port de la Selva on the Costa Brava, one of the most picturesque fishing villages in northeastern Spain near Cap de Creus. The composition presents a lively shoreline animated by traditional fishing boats resting along the beach and floating gently across reflective harbor waters. Whitewashed architecture rises against the mountainous backdrop, creating a luminous contrast with the turquoise sea and expansive sky. Executed with confident impressionist brushwork, the painting captures shifting reflections and coastal light through layered strokes of blue, rose, ochre and soft green tonal transitions. The surface retains visible impasto that enhances depth and movement across the water.
