The Harbour at St. Jean Cap Ferrat 1921

"The Harbour at St. Jean Cap Ferrat" is a 1921 painting by Winston Churchill, who is better known as a politician and wartime leader, but was also a prolific painter. This oil painting showcases a tranquil seascape with a harbor in the foreground, featuring boats and a small red-roofed building. The scene is bathed in sunlight reflecting off the water, creating a luminous effect. This work, completed during a time of peace in Churchill’s life, reflects his love for the French Riviera and his artistic passion outside of politics.
