French V Manago Oil painting Fishing boats Martigues original Montparnasse frame

Description: This is a fine antique French oil painting, dating from the early part of the 1900's by the highly respected artist Vincent Manago (1878-1936) it shows fishing boats in the bay of Martigues, France. It is in we believe, the original Montparnasse gilded hardwood decorative frame.Textural, confident application of oil on panel - evoke the bright summer light of the mediterranean port, the vibrant colours of the fishing boats, reflected in the sea - this is so typical of Manago's work- alive and with such spirited colourings.Vincent Manago was born 15 January 1880 Toulon, France and died August 25, 1936 (aged 56) in Paris. He studied at the Academie Julian with Jean-Paul Laurens and spent much of his time between 1900 and 1913 in Marseille. He then left for North Africa. He travelled and worked in Algiers and Tunis and was recognised for his use of vibrant colours and thick impasto in his paintings. He was recognised as an Orientalist artist, In addition to being a painter, Manago also worked as a decorator of several private residences in Tunis and Alger. His oldest son Dominique Manago, born in Tunis in 1902, also became a painter and so did his youngest son Armand, born in Paris in 1913, who changed his artist name to A.M. Guérin.
