"Port de Marseille" is a 1917 painting by the French artist Henri Matisse. It depicts a scene of a harbor in Marseille, France, with a prominent blue boat at the forefront of the painting. Matisse's use of bold colors and simplified forms are characteristic of his Fauvist style, where he used color to express emotion rather than to represent reality. This piece is a captivating portrayal of the bustling harbor life in Marseille.
