"View Of Port-en-bessin - Calvados - Normandy / François Salvat (1892-1974) / Oil On Panel"
This oil on panel by François Salvat depicts a picturesque view of the port of Port-en-Bessin, located in Calvados. It shows fishing boats moored, their hulls and masts standing harmoniously. The cool, soft colors – gray, blue and ochre – create a calm atmosphere, under a slightly overcast sky.

Salvat's quick and expressive brushstrokes bring movement to the water and the reflections of the boats, with a slightly impressionist style. The scene captures the authenticity of everyday life in Normandy ports, paying homage to the charm of this coastal village in Calvados.
