Quai Gustav- Ador, the Neptune in Geneva
Located in Genève, GE
Oil on canvas signed and dated (19)46
Dimension with frame : 80.5 x 93.5 x 6 cm
This oil on canvas by Eugène Martin depicts a quiet harbor scene on the shores of Lake Geneva, most likely along the Quai Gustave-Ador. The composition centers on several moored boats resting at the water’s edge, including La Neptune, an old working vessel historically used for various forms of transport on the lake, such as goods, materials, and local service operations.
Rendered with a restrained and harmonious palette of muted greys, soft blues, and subdued greens, the painting conveys a contemplative, almost introspective atmosphere. The expansive sky dominates the composition, its weight and texture contrasting with the calm horizontal line of the shoreline and the stillness of the water. Slender masts punctuate the space vertically, lending rhythm and structure to the scene.
Martin’s brushwork is controlled yet expressive, with subtle surface texture characteristic of mid-20th-century Swiss modern figurative painting. Human presence is implied rather than shown, evoked through the working boats and harbor infrastructure. The inclusion of La Neptune, a venerable utilitarian craft, anchors the work in Geneva’s maritime and industrial history, adding documentary as well as poetic value.
This evocative lakeside painting is a strong example of Eugène Martin’s sensitivity to place, atmosphere, and quiet labor. It will appeal to collectors of European modern art, Swiss painting, and refined maritime or industrial landscapes.
