St. Guénole is an unspecified by Maxime-Emile-Louis Maufra, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a rocky shore with small boats floating in choppy, greenish water. In the background, a larger ship sits near a dock, and a rocky island rises in the distance. The sky is pale with soft brushstrokes, and the waves crash against the jagged rocks below. The boats look simple, almost sketchy, with quick strokes that make the scene feel lively but unfinished. The colors are mostly muted greens, blues, and browns, with a few brighter spots on the water. If you like this loose, brushy style, look up impasto next.
Maufra made bold, textured landscapes that caught the rugged coasts and cliffs of Brittany in the late 1800s.
