{"product_id":"antique-french-signed-seascape-oil-98754","title":"Antique French Signed Seascape Oil Painting, Gold Framed","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully atmospheric French coastal seascape dating from circa 1880, depicting fishing boats navigating the restless waters of the Normandy coastline. Beneath towering cliffs, a small fishing vessel has been drawn close to the rocky shore while other boats sail across the distant horizon. Signed Beauchamp at the lower left and presented in a magnificent, richly ornamented antique gilt frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting beautifully captures the relationship between the Normandy fishing communities and the sea. During the 19th century, the Channel coast was home to numerous fishing villages, where small sailing vessels worked the coastal waters and were frequently hauled onto beaches or sheltered in natural harbours. The scene has a particularly evocative atmosphere. Soft blue-grey mountains, pale turquoise water and a gently clouded sky contrast with the dark fishing boat and rocky foreground. The artist has captured the movement of the waves and the hazy coastal distance, giving the composition a wonderful sense of depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its period. The painting retains its atmospheric colour and detail. The substantial antique gilt frame is in attractive historic condition, with a beautifully aged patina, expected rubbing, marks, darkening and small areas of wear to the gilded decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eCirca 1880\u003cbr\u003eOil painting\u003cbr\u003eNormandy coastal seascape\u003cbr\u003eSigned Beauchamp, lower left\u003cbr\u003eArtist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003eOrnate antique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 13.39 inch (34cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 18.70 inch (47.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1.97 inch (5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 8.27 inch (21cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 13.78 inch (35cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
