PROVENANCE

---

fun fact:


digital description:


wall description:
This atmospheric view of the cliffs and bay of Saint-Malo describes the drama and grandeur of the Emerald Coast, the gateway to Brittany. Buhot, a prolific etcher, produced this image by printing from two copper plates, one for the evocative landscape and a second for the margin of remarques, or supplementary designs that the artist described as "symphonic" additions to the main image. Here, the remarques represent Breton villagers in traditional costume, a storm-tossed ship, the black rocks characteristic of the region, and various flora and fauna.
