Beaulieu

"Beaulieu" by Sir John Lavery is a breathtaking portrayal of the serene beauty of the French Riviera. The painting captures a panoramic view of the azure waters, stretching into the distance with subtle shifts in tone that evoke the depth and tranquility of the sea. In the background, majestic mountains loom under a bright, partly clouded sky, with soft brushstrokes conveying the rugged yet peaceful nature of the landscape. A small boat floats on the expansive water, providing a sense of scale and solitude. Lavery’s use of vibrant blues and greens, paired with the warm light of the Mediterranean, evokes the calming, timeless atmosphere of this coastal paradise. The detailed foreground plants add to the natural charm of the scene, anchoring the viewer in the quiet beauty of Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
