Port castle of Belle-Ile 1910

"Port Castle of Belle-Ile" (1910) by Maxime Maufra (1861-1918) is a picturesque depiction of a harbor scene. The painting features numerous sailboats docked in a harbor, with a stone fort overlooking the water. Maufra captures the light and atmosphere of the scene, with the use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. This piece exemplifies the artist's mastery of depicting marine subjects, a common theme in his work. The composition is well-balanced, drawing the viewer's eye to the boats and the dramatic sky above. The painting evokes a sense of tranquility and the beauty of coastal life.
