- Lot Description
A captivating oil on canvas by Fernand Herbo, measuring 60 x 81 cm, signed lower left. This painting, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, highlights Herbo's distinctive style rooted in powerful compositions and rich, dark color palettes depicting the bustling port of Honfleur. Fernand Herbo was born in Orchies in 1905 and spent his formative years in Montmartre, where he worked on posters, theater and film sets, and mingled with notable artists like Maurice de Vlaminck and Othon Friesz. After settling permanently in Honfleur in 1938, Herbo devoted his art to maritime subjects, earning the prestigious title of ÒPeintre Officiel de la Marine" (Painter of the French Navy) in 1944. His works were acquired by national institutions, such as the MusŽe National d'Art Moderne (Centre Georges-Pompidou), and were championed by the influential gallery owner Katia Granoff, who exhibited him among leading artists of the time. In 1952, Herbo opened the Bar des Artistes in Honfleur, decorating its ceiling and establishing a vibrant gathering place for local creatives. With more than 1,000 paintings and watercolors to his name, he remains a central figure in Honfleur's artistic heritage; today, a quay in Honfleur bears his name, and the Eugene-Boudin Museum exhibits many of his works, dedicating an entire room to his legacy.
