Marseilles Harbour with a Lighthouse

About this work

This painting shows a harbour with a lighthouse. The water is calm, reflecting the buildings and the lighthouse. There are several boats in the water, and the sky is blue with some clouds. The harbour wall is made of stone, and the lighthouse is tall and narrow. The buildings in the background are also made of stone, and they have a similar colour to the harbour wall. The boats in the water are small, and they have white sails. The painting is quite detailed, with a lot of texture and depth. The artist has used a range of colours to create a sense of atmosphere and mood. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of artist Antoine Vollon.
