Adrien Manglard (attributed to) - Harbour View with Lighthouse, Boats and Figures oil on canvas The painting fits coherently into Adrien Manglard's production, highlighting its most recognisable traits: the interest in the harbour view as an ideal construction rather than as a precise topographical restitution, and above all the search for an atmospheric balance based on diffuse light and lightened tones.
