Between fascination and fear, the sea has always been the object of great desires for humans. The boat, sailing, steam or motor, has allowed him over the centuries to tame the waves. Whether at the helm or at the bow, the sailor will always stay on course so as not to give in to the waves, thus avoiding the sometimes harsh shipwreck of his crew, as Theodore Géricault testifies with his famous Raft of the Medusa. Canoe, yacht, barge, sailboat, trawler, ocean liner… Here is a whole world navigating the oceans, and sharing a common objective: to cast off safely so as not to sink adrift. Many artists have succumbed to the representation of maritime scenes or fishing scenes through the painting of boats. Some have even made it their favorite subject, such as the Englishman William Turner, and his work as symbolic as the famous Le Négrier, or the Dutchman Jan Van de Cappelle. We will not fail to quote Claude Monet and his Impression Sunrise canvas : a view of Le Havre at high tide which will mark the advent of Impressionism, and will give a name and an identity to this important movement.
