ÉMIL-BÉNÉDIKTOFF HIRSCHFELD | Returning to Home
Oil on Canvas
34 x 66 cms / 13½ x 26 inches
Signed E B Hirschfeld (lower right)
In this luminous seascape painting, Émil-Bénédiktoff Hirschfeld captures the ever-changing beauty of the ocean with masterful brushwork and a soft, harmonious palette. Hirschfeld's sensitive handling of light and texture evokes a sense of calm and wonder, perfectly balancing the dynamic energy of the waves with the tranquil stillness of the open ocean.
Born in Odessa in 1867, Hirschfeld refined his craft through formal studies in Munich and Paris before settling in Concarneau, Brittany, in 1891. Immersed in the rich maritime traditions of the region, he produced seascapes infused with both realism and atmosphere. His work received early recognition; at the Paris Salon, he earned an honorable mention in 1892 and went on to win a gold medal two years later. His paintings frequently depict the rhythms of Breton life with a nuanced command of light and color, balancing Impressionist sensitivity with realist discipline.
