BOCION, FRANÇOIS Pêcheurs sur le Léman. Oil on... Lot 30

BOCION, FRANÇOIS Pêcheurs sur le Léman. Oil on canvas, sig. u. dat. 1861 u.r., 55,5x82,5 cm Exhibition: Exposition Rétrospective d'Oeuvres de François Bocion et Alfred Chavannes, Société Vaudoise des Beaux-Arts, Salle de la Grenette, Lausanne, June 1925 (label on verso). The motif of the boat is omnipresent in François Bocion's work. It serves both as a structuring element of the pictorial space and as a narrative component. Although recreational boating on Lake Geneva was already booming during the artist's lifetime, Bocion was primarily interested in transport and fishing boats. http://www.dobiaschofsky.com/d106--10030.html
