1872
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Canal at Martiques is a 1872 by Adolphe Appian, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet harbor scene with two ships anchored near a row of buildings. The water is calm, and the boats have tall masts and small figures on deck. In the foreground, a lone person stands on the shore, while a bird flies low over the water. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and movement, almost like a quick study. The buildings in the background are simple, with no bright colors—just black and white. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
Adolphe Appian (born as Jacques Barthelemy Adolphe Appian; 28 August 1819 – 29 April 1898) was a French landscape painter and etcher.
