A powerful expressionist artist, Raymond Picque was also a co-founder of the Gravelines Group in 1961. This Group led directly to the creation of the Museum of Design in Gravelines, which is the only French museum dedicated exclusively to the original print. As an artist, he drew and painted the coastline and landscape of his region with passion and directness.

This striking original oil on canvas painting by renowned French artist Raymond Picque (1926–1984) captures the atmospheric beauty of The Channel of Gravelines, Grand Fort-Philippe. Executed in Picque’s expressive, textural style, the piece evokes a windswept, industrial coastal scene where working boats glide across pale waters under a moody, overcast sky. Bold brushstrokes in slate grey, ochre, and midnight blue create depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the rugged charm of this northern French seaport.
Signed by the artist in the lower right corner, this painting exemplifies Picque’s post-impressionist approach and deep connection to maritime landscapes. A fine example of mid-20th century French coastal art, this work would appeal to collectors of marine painting, expressionist oil art, and regional French scenes.
