Jacques Camoreyt (1871-1963) "boats In Port 1892" Bordeaux, Marseille, Navy, Old Rigging

New very beautiful oil/mahogany panel by Jacques Marie Omer Camoreyt representing boats docked at the port in 1892, signed and dated lower left. Size of the painting alone without frame 35x27cm. This is therefore a new work by Jacques Camoreyt, an artist that I appreciate and regularly present on my walls, this time it is a marine and more precisely ships in a port, an old rigging under sail and a cargo ship, near which many characters and sailors are busy, in canoes, on the quay and we can even see a man at the top of a mast. I did not identify the port, especially since Camoreyt painted many of them, Marseille and Bordeaux are the ones he painted the most, but also Toulon, or Le Havre, Dunkirk, Istanbul, Venice... Given the light I think more of a Mediterranean port, I would think of Toulon... As usual Camoreyt takes particular care with his drawing and the details are always striking in his paintings, especially his boats, his paintings are among the most successful in the world of marine painters, alongside Marin-Marie, Paguenaud, Brenet or Sébille. Jacques Marie Omer Camoreyt, born September 11, 1871 in Lectoure (Gers), died April 22, 1963 in Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), is a French painter, engraver and illustrator
He is the son of Julien Camoreyt, a practitioner (business agent) and Marie Ernestine Barennes, a dressmaker. Probably encouraged by Eugène Camoreyt, one of his relatives, founder of the Lectoure museum and drawing teacher at the college, he went to Paris and was a student of the painters Léon Bonnat, Fernand Cormon and Albert Maignan. At this time he had the opportunity to give artistic training to one of his cousins, Pierre De Maria (1896-1984) A member of the Society of French Artists, he participated in the various exhibitions organized by this society. He was awarded medals in 1899, 1900, 1905. His painting is divided into two major themes; genre painting (women, interiors, dolls) and seascapes, views of ports, not only in France but in Italy and the Orient, as in Turkey (views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus, 1894-95). He was also an engraver, mainly in etching. Illustrator, in a style marked by his academic profession but of a very effective simplicity, with a great science in the treatment of light and shadow, he produced numerous press illustrations (La Vie au grand air, 1905), he illustrated a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, The Mystery of the Dancing Men (1902), reprinted in France by the newspaper Je sais tout (Les Danseurs, 1905); for Je sais tout, illustrations of Arsène Lupin by Maurice Leblanc. His watercolors of airplanes from the First World War are widely reproduced. His works are present in many museums, Bonnat in Bayonne, Musée de la Marine in Paris, Bordeaux, Dunkirk, Evanston, near Chicago... This painting is in very good condition for its more than 130 years, it has been lightly cleaned recently, I just point out a few tiny stains and traces in particular from the old frame and a few small losses on the periphery, and I offer it in an old frame with gray patina; I think that a pretty carved gilded frame would perhaps suit it better, to see....
