The Harbour of Collioure – Signed Delaby – 1941

This oil on canvas painting is characterized by cool tones and the use of the technique of pointillism. It represents the harbour of Collioure, a picturesque French village on the Mediterranean coast just north of the Spanish border. In the foreground, a group of fishing boats and on the left, the Church of Our Lady of the Angels, built between 1684 and 1691 in a southern Gothic style.
