About the Item
Oil painted on canvas signed lower right
Lake Geneva boat, "Belle Epoque" and Mont Blanc bridge, Geneva,
This work captures with remarkable finesse a misty, nostalgic urban panorama. The eye is immediately drawn to the striking contrast between the imposing black chimneys of the moored steamships and the soft pastel tones that dominate the scene. The bright white ships stand out clearly against the horizon, almost seeming to float above the shimmering water. In the foreground, a richly ornate balustrade, slightly worn by time, marks the separation between the quay and the shore, adding an imposing architectural element that guides the viewer's eye along its elegant curve. The balustrade is also reflected in the calm water, creating a play of mirrors that enriches the composition of the scene. To its left, a solitary lamppost stands with melancholy dignity, recalling a bygone era. The absence of any human figures in this scene reinforces the sense of a city frozen in time, where the human presence is felt in the infrastructure but is not visually represented. In the background, a bridge faintly visible under the mist adds further depth to the work, and the dark green trees peek through the fog, adding a natural touch to an environment dominated by human creations. This play of contrasts, between nature and man, clarity and mist, the solidity of the architecture and the fluidity of the water, demonstrates an impeccable technical mastery and a unique style of painting.
