EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting captures the serene beauty of the Port of Saint Servan in western France, circa 1917. The vibrant colors of the scene come alive as the sun casts a warm glow over the tranquil waters. The small, almost insignificant figures on the platform by the buildings add a sense of scale and humanity to the otherwise grandiose scene. Located in the picturesque town of Saint Servan, this port was a bustling hub of activity during the early 20th century. The painting invites us to imagine the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day life that once took place here. Fishermen could be seen mending their nets, merchants haggling over prices, and sailors preparing their ships for the next voyage. The painting is a testament to the artistic prowess of Raymond Francis McIntyre, a prolific painter and illustrator of the time. McIntyre's work was regularly featured in various magazines, including a June volume from the early 1900s. His ability to capture the essence of a scene and bring it to life through his brushstrokes is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time to a simpler era, where the rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the tides. The Port of Saint Servan remains a cherished memory of a bygone era, preserved for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
