" Belgian Quay" Marseille - Adolphe Mary Mercier - Painter Of Marines And The South

Beautiful composition by the painter Adolphe Mary Mercier. Our gaze is drawn to the white and turquoise hulls of the sailboats, whose cut masts accentuate their presence in the center of the composition, then it moves towards the light and bronze touches of the background which beautifully outline the Quai des Belges in 1926 in Marseille bathed in sunlight.

Adolphe Mary Mercier born on May 31, 1882 and his work belongs to the first half of the 20th century.
Painter of landscapes and seascapes, he was a student of Jules Adler and Pierre Eugène Montézin.
He exhibited in Paris, at the Salon des Artistes Français of which he has been a member since 1926 and at the Salon de l'Ecole française. (Source Bénézit)
