Description
Étienne BLANDIN (1903–1991). Two Newfoundland vessels at sea, one registered as SM412, off the coast of Saint-Malo in the background. Oil on hardboard, unsigned, bearing the inscription ‘France (?)’ partially erased in the bottom right-hand corner. Height: 80 cm – Length: 115 cm We would like to thank Mr Patrick BLANDIN, the artist’s son, for confirming that the painting is one of his father’s works. Born in Saint-Broladre into a family of sailors based in Cancale, Étienne Blandin was a qualified art teacher who witnessed the final decades of sailing fishing; living in Saint-Malo, he meticulously documented the rigging, life on board and the activity in the ports along the north coast of Brittany. He was appointed Painter to the Navy on 30 March 1934. Lot from a voluntary sale.
