Jean Brusselmans, Vuurtoren te Oostende (1936). Collectie: Mu.ZEE, Art Museum by the Sea, Oostende

#art #painting #20thcentury #lighthouse #harbour #boats #clouds
From the website: Central to this image of the harbour of Ostend is a white lighthouse. It dominates the scene, silhouetted against a cloudy sky. Two fishing boats are moored at the quayside, defining the foreground of the canvas. The quayside is bordered by a light grey horizontal line spanning the entire width of the painting. A third fishing boat is positioned in the harbour, between the quayside and the pier. Houses, sheds, and a factory building are in the background.
