About the piece
Created in 1757 by the preeminent French marine painter Claude-Joseph Vernet, this oil on copper work is a masterful exploration of light and atmosphere. Part of a series depicting the different times of day, this scene illustrates the transition from night to morning with a cool, hazy palette that highlights the peaceful labor of fishermen and the enduring beauty of the European countryside.
