French School Honfleur Follower of Frank Myers BOGGS (1855-1926)
A pleasing harbour scene depicting Honfleur in Northern France. Painted in an impressionistic style with great spontaneity using the dark brooding colour palette reminiscent of the work of Frank Boggs. Honfleur was the centre of a small artist’s colony during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Boggs concentrated on painting marine pictures and harbour scenes in Honfleur and Dieppe.
*“Frank Myers Boggs was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris . He exhibited regularly until the end of his life at the Salon des artistes français , where he received several distinctions, notably a silver medal on the occasion of the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris . In 1885 in New York , he exhibited La Houle in Honfleur , which won a prize of 2,500 dollars.”
