Joseph Garibaldi (1863-1941) Landscape At Fos Sur Mer

A solitary and bare cypress that resisted the powerful mistral coming from the Crau plain. The Etang de l'Estomac which surrounds the citadel of Fos sur Mer where the artist was a regular visitor, a poetic touch in a pretty range of gray and green colors give this work by Joseph Garibaldi a bucolic and melancholic atmosphere that signals the end of summer and the arrival of autumn. The work is offered in a pretty carved wooden frame in gilt and brown that measures 43 cm by 51 cm and 33 cm by 41 cm for the canvas alone. In good condition, it is signed lower left.

Joseph Garibaldi exhibited at the Salon des Artistes from 1884 to 1914, where he received an honourable mention in 1887 and a second-class medal in 1897. These were mainly views of famous sites and monuments, of coastal ports: Cassis, where he painted regularly between 1884 and 1899, La Ciotat, where he was welcomed by Antoine Lumière, Bandol, Sanary and Toulon. But his speciality remained the Old Port of Marseille. Until 1905, he benefited from the patronage of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild (1827-1905) who, guided by the critic Paul Leroy, very favourable to Vollon's students, bought his paintings and donated them to provincial museums. He exhibited his landscapes at the Colonial Exhibition in Marseille in 1906 and obtained a travel grant for Tunisia in 1907. He was supported for the rest of his career by his friends from the Association of Marseille Artists (Étienne Martin, José Silbert and Édouard Crémieux), who were successively at the head of the association...
