EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting captures the enchanting waterside scene of Boulogne-sur-Mer, a charming city located on the north coast of France, circa 1918. The artwork, created by renowned British artist Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, showcases the artist's masterful use of repetition in form and shapes that add depth and texture to the composition. In the foreground, the repetition of the boat sails creates a sense of movement and rhythm, while the city buildings in the background display a harmonious arrangement of roofs, their repetitive shapes echoing the undulating clouds in the sky above. The color palette of the painting is muted and earthy, with the cool blues and grays of the water and sky contrasting beautifully with the warm hues of the buildings and boats. The painting, which is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to Nevinson's ability to capture the essence of a place and its surroundings. The magazine volume in which it was published is December, but the exact date and title are unknown. This work of art invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of Boulogne-sur-Mer and the power of repetition in art.
