Calm at a Mediterranean Port, A (painting (visual work); Claude-Joseph Vernet (French, 1714 - 1789) (French Artist); 1770; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 2002.9.2)

Note: Vernet described this painting as "a sea port enriched with many figures, edifices, and maritime buildings at sunset." While Turkish merchants converse on the quay and fishermen pursue their daily activities, a Dutch warship is peacefully moored in the bay. Vernet's balanced composition, warm palette, and controlled brushwork suggest a harmony between mankind and nature.
