1863
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Seine Fishing off Charcoal Burners' Point, Akaroa, Banks' Peninsula, 1845 is a 1863 by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a coastal scene with a small bay and a mountain range in the background. The water is dotted with boats, some with people fishing or rowing. On the shore, there’s a group of people near trees, and a plume of smoke rises from the right side of the image. The title says this is a spot in New Zealand, but the artist was French. The print looks like it was made in 1863, though it depicts an earlier time. If you like this style, check out Realism next.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
