EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edouard Manet's masterpiece, "Tarring the Boat (Le Bateau goudronne)". Painted in July-August 1873, this oil on canvas artwork depicts a picturesque beach in Berck-sur-Mer, France. The small fishing village, nestled along the Channel coast, served as an inspiration for Manet during his visit with his family. In this scene, we witness the daily routine of Berck's fishermen as they diligently apply flaming tar to their boat. With no port available to shelter their vessels from the elements, these skilled seafarers resort to beaching their boats in the sand along the waterline. The application of tar serves as a protective measure against dampness while they are ashore. Manet masterfully captures both the tranquility and industriousness of this coastal community through his brushstrokes. The warm hues and delicate play of light evoke a sense of calm amidst the ruggedness of nature. Measuring at 19 11/16 x 24 1/8 inches (50 x 61.2 cm), this print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history and immerse themselves in Manet's artistic vision. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, it is sure to spark conversations about maritime traditions and highlight Manet's enduring contribution to Impressionism.
