About the Item

Figure by the Harbour by Maurice Mazeilie (French, 1924-2021) watercolor painting on artist paper, unframed unsigned stamped verso The addition of the figure in red is a feature Mazeilie often uses in his work, and this really brings the painting alive. Measures: Painting: 12 inches x 9 inches A delightful original painting by the 20th century French Impressionist artist, Maurice Mazeilie. The painting has excellent provenance having come from the artists estate sale in Paris. Mazeilie lived and worked in Montmartre, with a studio on the famous Place du Tertre. His love of the coast led him to also maintain a studio on the Brittany coastline. Born in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, Paris in early 1924, Mazeilie painted coastal scenes in Brittany, Parisian landscapes and architecture, Venetian Cityscapes, and portraiture. He moved to the USA in 1957, returning to France briefly for a few months in 1958, then arriving back in early 1959 to settle in San Diego California where he applied for naturalisation and became a longstanding figure in the artist's centre at Spanish Village in San Diego between approximately 1967-1974. He had married in San Diego in 1964. In the late 1970's he returned to France and continued to paint and sketch right up to 2019 (some of his later work is dated). Mazeilie's gentle, impressionist style fits into any interior environment, contemporary or classic. Condition report: The painting is in good and sound condition, clean.

French Riviera Mediterranean Harbour Scene
Located in Seaford, GB
Fabulous Midcentury South of France Mediterranean Harbour Scene – South Of France Mediterranean Oil Painting This exquisite South of France Mediterranean Oil Painting beautifully captures the essence of a South of France coastal scene, transporting viewers to a serene sun-drenched port where life moves at a relaxed, rhythmic pace. This vintage seaside artwork is a masterful portrayal of the picturesque fishing villages of the French Riviera, featuring azure blue waters, colourful boats, and rustic whitewashed buildings with terracotta rooftops. The artist’s expressive brushstrokes and keen eye for detail bring to life the tranquillity of the Mediterranean, making this piece a perfect addition to any coastal home, vintage art collection, or midcentury-inspired interior. Whether displayed in a Sussex beach house, a contemporary living space, or a collector’s gallery, this artwork captures the warm, nostalgic charm of a bygone era. South Of France Mediterranean Oil Painting – A Timeless Coastal Masterpiece The focal point of this painting is the harbour’s crystal-clear waters, where a fleet of traditional fishing boats floats gently, their vivid reds, blues, and yellows contrasting against the deep turquoise sea. The artist expertly conveys the movement of the water, reflecting the brilliance of the sun and the soft dance of the ripples. Fishing nets, mooring ropes, and maritime gear are scattered along the quayside, suggesting a day’s work is completed, adding an element of authenticity and character to the composition. Beyond the boats, a charming row of Mediterranean buildings lines the harbour, their sun-bleached facades glowing in warm ochres, soft creams, and earthy oranges. These structures, reminiscent of Provençal architecture, exude rustic elegance, with wrought-iron balconies, wooden shutters, and cascading bougainvillaea adding charm. The artist has captured the laid-back atmosphere of a French coastal town, making this painting an inviting French Riviera wall art piece that radiates warmth and nostalgia. Seaside Village Life – A Celebration of Mediterranean Culture On the quayside, villagers and fishermen are depicted through loose yet expressive brushstrokes, illustrating the bustling yet peaceful rhythm of daily Mediterranean life. Whether mending nets, chatting along the harbour, or preparing to set sail, the figures add a dynamic yet harmonious element to the scene, embodying the spirit of French coastal living. The inclusion of palm trees, sun-drenched stone streets, and lush greenery enhances the atmosphere, reinforcing the idyllic charm of this vintage seascape painting...
