An important part of the works by Marseille painter Alexandre Brun was acquired by the Musée National de la Marine in 2002, enabling us to rediscover this academic painter who was a great sailor painter. He was awarded the bronze medal in the Marine section at the 1889 Universal Exhibition.
His paintings have a rare quality of realism and a fine mastery of color, as in the magnificent "Le lancement du Hoche à Lorient en 1886" (Musée National de la Marine).
Our painting depicts a ship aground. Well-composed, it shows in particular a beautiful light and a very fine rendering of the sea.
