Beautiful work by the Avignon painter Louis Agricol Montagné which represents a view of the Pointe du Brescon in Martigues.
At the foot of the fishermen's houses, you can see their boats moored to the quay.
Louis Montagné offers us here a panorama of an emblematic place for painters in Martigues, both colorful and contrasting.

A student of Paul Saïn and Cormon, he appeared at the Salon des Artistes français from 1901, where he obtained numerous awards during his participation.
He exhibited very early in Avignon with the merchants Kassler and Mouret and during this period created decorative panels in collaboration with the painter Paul Saïn. Wounded during the First World War, he lost an eye.
This will not prevent him from having a brilliant career. He was appointed director of the Avignon School of Fine Arts from 1920 to 1928.
Louis Agricol Montagné is part of the Group of 13.

Dimensions: 38 x 55 cm without frame and 49.5 x 66.5 cm with its modern frame in gilded wood.
