About

This atmospheric maritime oil painting, signed by French artist G. Quintaine, captures the golden tranquility of a tall ship returning to port at sunset. Painted with luminous tones of amber, ochre, and gold, the scene reflects a serene moment of coastal life, with rigged ships gently anchored near a distant village. The reflective water and subtly animated sky showcase Quintaine’s signature balance of clarity and emotional restraint. A self-taught painter from Étampes, Quintaine was trained by his father and sustained an extraordinary career spanning over five decades. Known for his prodigious output, he painted for up to ten hours a day and often signed his works under various pseudonyms, including Queffelec and Le Cozic, depending on the gallery. Though he worked primarily on commission, his paintings of Venice, Paris, and the French coast became widely admired for their compositional warmth and luminous technique. Executed in oil on canvas and presented in its original gold-finished frame, this painting reflects the artist’s characteristic craftsmanship and atmospheric precision. Dimensions: 16.75” W x 13.75” H (framed) Excellent condition commensurate with age and use
