(1) A painting by a follower of Richard Parkes Bonington, this canvas depicts three gaff-rigged fishing vessels, moored in an area of water protected by lock gates. The sheltered mooring is just above a beach, with cliffs and rocks on either side. There are a few people walking on the beach, enjoying the still evening air. The sun is setting on the horizon, and a golden light fills the sky. Judging by the dyke and lock gates, the scene is likely set on the Belgian or French coast, perhaps in Picardy. Although well-known for his depictions in oil and watercolour of English scenery, many of Bonington’s paintings depict scenes on the coast of Picardy and Normandy. When he was a teenager, his parents had been obliged to emigrate to France from England, when the lace industry in Nottingham became mechanised. They set up a lace-making firm in Calais, before moving to Paris the following year. Bonington initially studied with Louis Francia, a Calais artist. In 1823 he was in Belgium and the following years were spent in Dunkirk. He then studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1825 he visited London before returning to Paris where he shared a studio with Delacroix. He suffered from tuberculosis and moved to London for treatment, but died there, aged just twenty-six, in 1828. Dr. Peter Murray 2025 €600 - €800 767.
