A picture that Jean Baptiste Olive could have painted, in front of Marseille, the entrance to the port, the Notre Dame de la Garde basilica, Fort Saint Jean.
A painting for a lover of the Marseille city, that goes without saying.
We feel that the painter masters his subject, the touch is sure, the Mediterranean Sea is well rendered,
The boat lists downwind and moves forward at high speed, in the distance, we can see a motorboat, we are in a transitional period between sail and steam.
