• Lot Description
  Gorgeous Oil Painting of The Return of the Fishermen In Yport by Emile louis Vernier. Emile Louis Vernier was born in 1831 in Lons-le-Saunier and died in 1887 in Paris. A declared ‘Plein air’ painter, it was not until 1865 that he presented his first painting at the salon with a landscape view of the Jura. In 1869, the painter discovered the sea for the first time during a stay in Yport, near Fécamp. It was the sea that revealed to him the true secret of attractive color and put him in full possession of himself. From the day he chose the sea as the subject of his paintings, he had nothing but success. What was most admired about him was the sincerity, the tasty frankness of tone and the artistic feeling with which he chose his painting subjects. Vernier liked to introduce the man in his compositions or to recall his presence by the tools of his profession, boats, nets, etc… Nearly every one of his Marine paintings represents an episode in the lives of fishermen. This peaceful scene of ‘back from fishing’, treated with soft but precise strokes, contrasts with the power given to the elements. The brushstrokes are visible, and applied side by side in a first draft, they accentuate the movement and the effect of depth. One notices in the sky the brushstrokes placed in all directions, in order to project as well as possible the windy and nebulous effect. The alternation of blue and green tones, as well as the thick impasto, gives the sea all its power, and is reinforced by touches of white on the crest of the waves. In the foreground, the brushstrokes are shorter, the alternating choice of colors creating even more depth. This scene of day to day life exudes a great serenity, while emphasizing the power of the elements. France Circa 1860 The Painting (on canvas) measures 11.50 inches high and 15.25 inches long. The Gilt wood frame measures 20 inches high by 24 inches long. The painting is in great condition.
