Fishing Port 1874

"Fishing Port" is an 1874 oil painting by French artist Charles François Daubigny. The painting depicts a peaceful harbor scene, with a row of boats docked at the shore. The sky is a hazy blue with puffy white clouds, and the water is calm and reflective. The use of loose brushstrokes and a limited palette of colors evokes a sense of tranquility and realism. Daubigny's work is considered to be part of the Barbizon school, a group of artists who rejected the strict academic style of painting in favor of a more naturalistic approach. The painting is currently in a private collection.
