Post Impressionist Painting - Fishing Boats In Harbor By Josep Munné

Description
This evocative oil painting by Josep Munné (b.1933) captures a tranquil Mediterranean harbor scene, where several moored fishing boats gently drift on shimmering water. Executed with Munné's characteristically expressive brushwork, the surface glows with layered textures and rich tonal transitions. The composition is masterfully balanced, with fluid reflections and delicate shifts of green, teal, ochre, and slate anchoring the boats within their sunlit setting. The scene exudes a quiet rhythm and nostalgic warmth, echoing the artist’s deep connection to Catalan coastal life. Munné's technical finesse lies in his ability to convey movement and stillness simultaneously—light dancing across the water while the boats rest peacefully. Painted in 1977, this work exemplifies the post-war Mediterranean realism that celebrated everyday beauty with sincerity and elegance. A luminous and emotionally grounded piece, it adds timeless depth and character to curated living or working spaces.
