Canadian Impressionist James Wilson Morrice gained fame in Europe for his extraordinary painting, which so effortlessly captured the essential atmosphere of his subjects, whether a Paris café or a harbour scene such as this. Although labels on verso suggest the location of this work is Concarneau, it has been identified as Dieppe, looking towards the Quai de la Poissonnerie. Morrice regularly visited Dieppe, and there is a similar view in a sketchbook he used in Dieppe in 1895 and 1896. Morrice infused his works with calm and sensuality, and a sense of time stretching out luxuriantly—such as in this evocative scene of a boat at harbour with reflections rippling across the tranquil water. His palette is gorgeous, and in its lush tones of pink, cream, caramel and green softly brushed across the canvas, The Harbour at Dieppe shows Morrice’s mastery of his painterly elements.

We thank Lucie Dorais for her assistance in cataloguing this work. This painting is included in the catalogue raisonné on the artist’s work that is being compiled by Dorais.
