Mediterranean Seaport
by LACROIX, Charles-François, Oil on canvas, 36 x 44 cm
The present signed and dated coastal scene, depicting a Mediterranean seaport with Orientals conversing beneath an ancient Roman arch, a man’o’-war at anchor beyond, is characteristic of Lacroix’s refined style. It features motifs and elements popular with artists influenced by Vernet in their recreation of a timeless Mediterranean world.
