About the piece
Created in 1892 by Félix Ziem, this oil on wood painting captures the Quai Saint-Jean in Marseille with masterful light and movement. The composition balances the solid, warm-toned architecture of the port buildings with the intricate, vertical rhythm of ship masts and the lively activity of horses and figures on the quay.
