Description

Antoine Arlandis (1946) - Entrance to the port of Marseille. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper, 50 x 63 cm. Artist's proof (EA) signed in pencil by the artist lower right and enriched with a handwritten dedication. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work is a celebration of Mediterranean light and the bustle of the Marseilles coastline, the artist's favourite subjects. Arlandis deploys his characteristic style here, where figuration is imbued with a sunny atmosphere, using a vivid palette of deep blues and warm ochres to structure the view of the port. The balanced composition guides the eye towards the horizon, capturing maritime activity with a touch that is both precise and poetic. The Artist's Proof status, accompanied by a personal dedication, underlines the rarity of this print and testifies to the artist's generosity towards those close to him and his admirers. The classic horizontal format perfectly showcases the harbour panorama and the depth of field, making this plate a masterpiece of contemporary Provençal iconography. It is a radiant work that illustrates Arlandis's mastery of transfiguring geographical reality into a harmonious, serene pictorial vision.
