Villefranche Bay

Villefranche Bay captures the dramatic interplay of light and landscape along the French Riviera coast. This oil painting employs a sophisticated palette of deep blues and purples, punctuated by luminous whites and yellows that sweep across the sky. The composition masterfully depicts the peninsula of Cap Ferrat with the shimmering azure bay beyond, whilst the rugged foreground transitions into the steep cliffs of Villefranche. A golden wash of light bathes the horizon, creating atmospheric depth. Birds wheeling through thermal currents introduce dynamic movement, contrasting beautifully with the serene stillness of the seascape. An abstracted approach allows the viewer to experience the essence of this Mediterranean vista through colour and form rather than literal detail.
