About the piece
Painted in 1916, Albert Marquet’s 'Port of Marseilles' captures the bustling French harbor with a refined economy of line. The composition balances the dark forms of tugboats and docks against the shimmering, pale green water and the distant silhouette of Notre-Dame de la Garde, showcasing the artist's mastery of atmosphere and light.
