We are delighted to offer for sale this large marine oil on canvas by the artist Gustave de Breanski, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner. The painting depicts a Sussex lugger or wooden fishing boat, entering harbour past a wooden breakwater or jetty, with the chalk cliffs in the background. We are wondering whether this might be Newhaven in East Sussex, which has featured in other paintings by this artist, but the harbour has changed considerably since the 1880s. We would be pleased to hear from anyone who can verify the location.

GUSTAVE DE BREANSKI, circa 1856-1898, is the younger brother of the famous ALFRED DE BREANSKI, and his son ALFRED FONTVILLE DE BREANSKI. His sister Julia was also an artist, as well as his nephew, Arthur De Breanski. They were all prolific artists. He lived in Cookham Berkshire in 1880, as did his brother, but moved to Kent and then to London by 1890.

Gustave painted landscapes, highland scenes, marines and coastal views, although he specialised in marine and coastal. He painted similarly to his brother but in a broader and more impressionist style.

He exhibited 8 paintings at the Royal Academy, 40 at The Royal Society of British Artists, 7 at The Royal Hibernian Academy, 4 each at The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and Manchester City Art Gallery, as well as at other exhibitions in London and the provinces. His exhibition history in London up to 1893 is listed in Gray's Dictionary.

Biographical details may be found in The Dictionary of British Artists, and The Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood. His auction results may be found at artprice (331 listings), findartinfo (163) and artnet (239).

The painting is newly framed in a 3 1/2" gilt frame and is ready to hang.
