Fishing is a 1865 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, depicting Fishing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows four men in a boat beside a calm river. One man steers while the others mend nets or watch the water. The light hits the water and their clothes in soft, uneven patches. Jacque painted this scene in 1865, right when France was changing fast. The men look quiet, but you can almost hear the river and the wind. If you like Jacque’s calm scenes, try Charles-Émile Jacque.
Charles-Émile Jacque (23 May 1813 – 7 May 1894) was a French painter of Pastoralism and engraver who was, with Jean-François Millet, part of the Barbizon School. He first learned to engrave maps when he spent seven years in the French Army.
