Antique Marine Painting – Port of Perros-Guirec

Early 20th Century Oil on Canvas Signed R. Pujo

This early 20th century marine painting, signed R. Pujo, depicts with sensitivity and realism the port of Perros-Guirec, one of the most emblematic sites on the Breton coast. Executed in oil on canvas, this antique artwork belongs to the great tradition of French marine painting, highly sought after by collectors and lovers of maritime art.

The composition shows several fishing boats resting on the shore at low tide, their solid hulls grounded on wet sand. The tall masts, partially lowered sails, and rigging lines structure the space with elegance. In the background, the calm sea and the typically Breton cloudy sky create a peaceful, almost contemplative atmosphere. The artist captures with accuracy the changing coastal light and the quiet rhythm of the harbor outside working hours.

The brushwork is broad and generous, sometimes approaching impasto, giving texture and depth to the boats, sand, and sky. This painterly approach gives the artwork a strong visual presence and an authentic character, characteristic of early 20th century maritime paintings.
