around 1870 -1910 · Coastline, fishing and meteorological power
At the end of the 19th century, marine painting often left the naval battle and the picturesque panorama to get closer to the shore experienced. In the ports of Brittany, Finland, New England or the North Sea, naturalist artists share the daily life of fishermen, observe the gestures of departure, the return of boats and the waiting of families. The sea is not a uniform background. Its color, weight and movement depend on the time, wind, fog and depth. Albert Edelfelt inscribes a religious service in the community of the Finnish islands; Jules Bastien-Lepage brings childhood closer to coastal learning; Winslow Homer built afterwards his stays in Cullercoats and Maine a work where each wave puts the human body to the test. The Gulf Stream condenses this tension by isolating a man in the middle of the currents, while Fog Alert measures the danger at the distance between a small boat and its ship. Painters work through studies, watercolors or long observations before composing in the workshop. Nets, oilskins, hulls and fish document an economy, but light also transforms these facts into a sensitive experience. This collection thus brings together social life, maritime precision and elementary drama without reducing the fisherman to folklore. This collection thus brings together social life, maritime precision and elementary drama without reducing the fisherman to folklore. The selection "Marines and naturalist fishermen" puts particularly with regard to Divine Service by the Sea and Fishermen's Children - Jules Bastien. His reading favors details.
In the naturalist navy, the wave is never decorative: it sets the distance, slows down work and decides the safety of men.
