The Port at San Remo is a 1878 by Adolphe Appian, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a quiet port scene with boats and buildings. Adolphe Appian was skilled at creating moods with light and atmosphere. He used careful techniques to achieve this, like leaving a fine layer of ink on copper plates to print pale tones. Check out the technique of sfumato to learn more about how artists like Appian created soft, hazy effects in their work.
