One of the most celebrated painters of the Pont-Aven School, Moret’s lasting reputation is tied to his talent for capturing the bright skies, lively waterways and the diverse coastline of northern France. With a mastery of \u003cem\u003eplein air\u003c\/em\u003e composition and a deep appreciation for the natural world, Moret's \u003cem\u003eBarque de pêche en mer\u003c\/em\u003e renders a fishing boat navigating through the ocean. Moret creates a visceral sense of the vitality of the water and the enormity of the open skies. The artist captures the vigorous energy of the sea with a profusion of green and blue hues applied with a thick impasto. Small yet mighty against the infinite backdrop, Moret's fishing boat forges ahead. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Henry Moret was born in Cherbourg in 1856, though little else is known about his early life. He entered military service as a young man in 1875, and it was during that period when Moret discovered the beauty of France’s northern coasts, particularly those of Normandy and Brittany. After his tour ended, he embarked on his artistic career, completing his formal education at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts under Jean-Leon Gérôme, and later, from about 1880, under Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He exhibited for the first time at the Paris Salon in 1880, submitting a landscape of the coast of Brittany. During his time in Paris, he frequently traveled to Brittany to paint the region he so loved. In 1888, he more firmly established himself in Pont-Aven, a town whose center had become an artistic refuge for artists such as the great Paul Gauguin, Ernest Ponthier de Chamaillard, Emile Jourdan and others. Under Gauguin's influence, he briefly explored the concept of Symbolism in his works, but after Gauguin left Pont-Aven in 1891, Moret returned to his Impressionist roots. He formed a relationship with the famed dealer Durand-Ruel in 1895, and his career was officially launched. Today, his works can be found in important museums including the Manchester Art Gallery, the State Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg), the National Gallery of Art (Washington DC) and others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/landing.rauantiques.com\/moret-insights\/\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSee auction comparables and market data\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dated 1912 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 28 3\/4” high x 36 3\/4” wide\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 36 5\/8\" high x 44 1\/8\" wide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exhibited: Henry Moret, Galerie Durand-Ruel, April 5-January 29, 1966, n° 47 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Sale Marcel Bernheim Gallery 1982.\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection.\u003cbr\u003e Sale Pierre Berge \u0026amp; Associés: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 (Lot 00022).\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Sunny Isles, Florida.\u003cbr\u003e M.S.
