The painting originally known as Calme, which Vernet painted first, shows an imaginary harbour as fishermen return with their catch on a tranquil summer evening. The golden sun is at the centre of the painting, its light illuminating the undersides of the few clouds and reflecting off the surface ripples of the water. Light, shadow and atmosphere are the true subjects of Vernet’s painting, the figures in the foreground merely a foil to the beauty of the hazy meeting of light, air and water . The painting follows in the tradition of Claude’s Italianate seaport views such as A Seaport of 1664, and Seaport with the Embarkation of Saint Ursula of 1641. Vernet painted picture Port at sunset in 1773. Prevailing color of this fine art print is dark and its shape is landscape.
