Product Overview

Upgrade your walls with Boats in Le Havre (Bateaux au Havre) - Raoul Dufy - Canvas Oil Painting. Every landscape reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.

The Story Behind the Painting

1922
Oil on canvas

Bateaux au Havre is not a topographical seascape, but an invention of Dufy's. In his introduction to the Art's Council Dufy exhibition in 1983, which included Bateaux au Havre, Bryan Robertson tells us that; 'Dufy invented a cultivated and lovingly tended paradise in the ancient Persian sense of an enclosed and protected garden.' Dufy considered truth to appearance to be of minor importance. Over time he developed a universe of emblems used as a kind of language to describe what was around him. Various elements of his personal artistic vocabulary are recognisable in the present work such as the swimmer, the sailing boat and the butterflies.

Every hand painted oil painting in this landscape series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
