its amazing to me that this was ever deamed worth anything its terrible. Nothing a photgraph doesn't do better. If this was from 800 or those times then it would be much mors impressive
Agreed, I can’t see the attraction of this painting.
On looking it up it sold for over £91,000 at Christie’s and I can’t see why.
It’s a view from a window in Boulogne and the French tricolour on the right hand side is the wrong way round, with the red portion on flagpole side instead of the blue?
Just such a trivial mistake to make and sums up the painting for me as sloppy and badly executed.
91,000bruutishpounds for old french(?) stuff is indeed Trash tier of old art
I much expect my own pieces value will inflate exprapfiantly when i expire and am seen as a millsnial artist from the pre 2000s
