Fishing Boats, 1862. Creator: Eugene Isabey
Fishing Boats, 1862. Eugene Isabey began his career assisting his father, the miniaturist J. B. Isabey, with illustrations for a travel book on Italy.

On his return, he specialized in coastal scenes of Normandy, in the north of France.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, titled "Fishing Boats" by Eugène Isabey, captures the picturesque beauty of the Normandy coastline in France during the 19th century. Isabey, a leading Romantic watercolorist, began his artistic career assisting his father, J.B. Isabey, with illustrations for a travel book on Italy. However, after a trip to England in 1825, Isabey was inspired by the latest trends in watercolor painting and specialized in coastal scenes of Normandy. In this exquisite work, Isabey masterfully depicts the atmospheric effects at the meeting of sea, shore, and sky. The boats, with their sails billowing in the wind, add a sense of activity and movement to the serene scene. The background people and their daily tasks on the beach further enhance the sense of life and vitality. The painting is executed in watercolor heightened with white and gum on moderately thick, slightly textured cream wove paper. The use of color and brushwork creates a luminous effect, capturing the essence of the European coast and its rich maritime heritage. The painting is a testament to Isabey's skill and his ability to transport us to another time and place. This work is a valuable addition to any collection of Romantic era art and a beautiful representation of the scenic vistas of Europe's coastlines.
