The Entrance to the Harbour of Marseilles, c. 1838
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back in time to the picturesque French coastal town. Painted by William Callow, a renowned English Romanticist artist, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Marseilles' bustling harbor. The scene depicts a vibrant maritime setting with boats gently gliding through calm waters towards the entrance of the harbor. A majestic lighthouse stands tall on one side, guiding ships safely into port. The dock and turret add architectural interest to the composition, while rowing boats dotting the water's surface bring life and movement to the scene. Callow's masterful use of watercolor with touches of gouache creates a dreamy atmosphere that perfectly complements Marseilles' romantic charm. The soft hues and delicate brushstrokes evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity found along France's stunning coastline. This print is not only an exquisite piece of art but also holds historical significance as it provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century maritime life in Marseilles. It serves as a reminder of how important harbors like this were for trade and transportation during that era. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this restricted gift from Dr. William D. Shorey allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Callow's talent and experience his interpretation of Marseilles' enchanting harbor firsthand.
