Bateaux de pêche au coucher du soleil dans un paisible port fluvial

Oil painting, neoimpressionist-expressionist. Fishing boats on the Elbe River near Dresden in a simple little harbor. In the background, flat hills, trees, fields and a village. In the foreground, the boats, a few fishermen’s huts, and a small campfire where two old fishermen are warming themselves. Circa 1810. Evening atmosphere, reddish-yellow-soft-violet sky, some dark clouds, volumetric lighting. thick impasto and rich colors truly brings the image to life. Masterful composition of lines, textures, light, surfaces, and the overall structure of the image. In the style of Caspar David Friedrich, the painting brings the peaceful scene, the magic of light and the essence of German Romanticism to life.
