1712
oil
From the collection of Groeningemuseum
Havengezicht is a 1712 oil by Jan Anton Garemyn, a Rococo painting work, held at Groeningemuseum.
The painting depicts a serene coastal scene, with a small village in the background and a group of people engaged in various activities in the foreground. A man is shown riding a horse-drawn cart, while another man stands beside him, holding a long pole. In the distance, several boats can be seen on the water. A large stack of hay sits in the center of the image, surrounded by several other objects, including a wooden fence and a few trees. The sky above is cloudy, with a few patches of blue visible through the gaps. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
