1900 - 1920
For Sale by Fox Fine Art
Description

Louis Bonamici (1878–1966)

Provence School | Post-Impressionist

Les Barques de Pêche, c.1920

A charming Post-Impressionist depiction of fishing boats resting peacefully in a sunlit harbour on the Mediterranean coast of southern France. Rich in atmosphere and colour, the painting beautifully captures the tranquil character of Provence's working ports.

Born on the Italian Riviera in 1878, Louis Jean Alfred Bonamici became closely associated with the Provence School. He is celebrated for his vibrant harbour scenes, fishing ports, and coastal landscapes, all illuminated by the brilliant southern light. Working in an Impressionistic style, Bonamici employed bold palette-knife techniques and thick impasto to create richly textured surfaces and luminous colour.

Between 1907 and 1935, Bonamici exhibited extensively in Paris and throughout southern France. In 1923, he travelled to the United States, where he painted views of California and exhibited his work in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. His paintings were highly sought after during his lifetime and were represented by an extensive network of galleries.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Provence School Post-Impressionist art focuses on Mediterranean light, coastal scenes, and natural landscapes using expressive brushwork and palette knife techniques developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Artists typically used heavy oil pigments applied onto stretched linen or wooden canvas panels, frequently presented within hand-carved gilt wooden frames containing fabric slips.

Authentic pieces generally display artist signatures, natural surface cracking known as craquelure in the paint layer, age-appropriate wood oxidation on the stretchers, and historic framer labels.

Hang the framed artwork at eye level above a console table or sideboard, using warm directional spotlighting to highlight the textured impasto paint layers and golden frame tones.

Dust the surface lightly using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoid placing the artwork in direct sunlight or damp environments, and consult a professional restorer for varnish removal.
