ANDRÉ HAMBOURG | Vent du Nord, Trouville
Oil on Canvas
15.5 x 27 cms / 6 x 10 ¾ inches
Signed A Hambourg (lower left)
André Hambourg’s Vent du Nord, Trouville encapsulates the windswept charm of Normandy’s coast with his trademark lightness and lyrical palette. The fluttering French flag, breezy sky, and distant figures are reminiscent of the maritime atmosphere and leisure culture of mid-20th-century France. Hambourg’s fluid brushwork and compositional clarity reflect his role as official navy painter and his enduring engagement with the seascapes of northern France.
André Hambourg is best known for his romantic compositions of Venice, luminous seascapes and charming beach scenes, painted with an expressive impressionistic brush and expressive colouring.
Hambourg’s dramatic marine seascapes and delightful beach scenes offer a spontaneous interpretation through the rapid application of expressive colours.
Vast areas of sky often dominate his compositions and his canvases are imbued with a feeling of endless space and time.
