Henri Malfroy, dit Savigny - View of Cannes harbor and Le Suquet
"Produced between 1920 and 1940, this captivating view of the old port of Cannes demonstrates Savigny's mastery of Mediterranean marine art. In the foreground, the reflections of the steamship, the fishermen's boats and a red buoy contrast with the luminous horizon. In the background, the emblematic silhouette of Le Suquet stands out in the soft, soothing light, a symbol of Cannes' history.
Savigny (1895-1944), trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, exhibited regularly in the capital before devoting his work to Provençal seascapes. His canvases, close to Impressionism, play with light to create an atmosphere that is both realistic and poetic. This work, with its generous gilded frame 136 × 92 cm Canvas dimensions: 116 × 73 cm, will appeal to lovers of regional art and refined decoration."
