"Oil On Canvas “still Life With Fish And Shellfish”"
A small oil on canvas, “Still Life with Fish and Crustaceans”, by the great Provencal painter Victor Coste (1844-1923). Born in Marseille, Coste went on to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in that city, exhibiting in the Paris Salon from 1883-1896 and also at the Colonial Exhibition in 1906. A painter renowned for his marine-focused artwork, several of his works are now preserved in the Palais Longchamp and the Granet Museum in Aix en Provence. Signed on the top right-hand corner by the artist, this extremely atmospheric study is enclosed within a moulded and gilded wooden frame.
