The French Riviera, 1921. Golden hour. The water at Beaulieu-sur-Mer doing exactly what the Mediterranean does when the light is right.
Beaulieu captures the shimmering turquoise waters of the Côte d'Azur in a moment of pure luminous intensity — the kind of light that makes you understand why painters kept coming back. Lavery painted this during his post-war Riviera years, a period of hard-won ease when the beauty of the south of France felt like something worth documenting with absolute care. The canvas glows.
It is presented here as a canvas print — the format that does most justice to Lavery's handling of light and colour at this scale.
Sir John Lavery (1856–1941) was born in Belfast, trained in Glasgow and Paris, and became one of the most celebrated painters of his era. His work is held in the National Gallery of Ireland, the Tate, and major collections worldwide.
