Contre jour sur la chapelle Saint-They, pointe du Van, Finistère

La pointe du Raz est emblématique de notre pointe Bretagne. La pointe du Van, sa sœur cadette, s'élance un peu plus au nord de la célèbre pointe du Raz, au delà de la baie des Trépassés - (lorsqu'il fait beau, l'endroit est si charmant qu'on aurait tendance à oublier que dans les parages par mauvais temps, la mer ne fait pas de cadeaux !).
N'ayant pas l'allonge de sa sœur aînée, elle tente vainement de lui ravir la vedette. Pourtant, elle est de toute beauté... En témoigne ici sur le site de la pointe du Van, la chapelle Saint-They et les landes fleuries qui l'entourent.
Sans oublier, en arrière plan, la pointe du Raz qui se prolonge telle une étrave dans le raz de Sein, redouté des marins et navigateurs coutumiers des côtes bretonnes.

Henri Le Goff is a self-taught professional painter, born in 1946 in the Quimper region (Finistère). From his childhood, he was passionate about drawing and painting.

He organized his first exhibitions in 1967-1968 in Wissembourg, Seltz, Soufflenheim and Haguenau, where he was noticed. After a short interruption for professional reasons, he resumed his artistic activities in 1982 and never left them since then.

He paints on the motif as in his studio. He mainly works with oil painting, which offers him the pleasure of material, light and an infinitely rich palette, but does not neglect gouache and watercolor. His subjects are resolutely figurative: he likes to represent what he sees, letting himself be guided by his emotions and his naturalness. For him, painting is intended to be color, luminosity, richness of drawing and balance of the subject.

He has always had a particular attraction to maritime landscapes: seascapes, in all their forms, it is true that they make up the bulk of his work. Sensitive to the world of the sea, full of admiration for illustrious predecessors like the official painters of the Navy Albert Brenet, Marin-Marie, Mathurin Méheut, Roger Chapelet, Jean Rigaud and many others, he is happy in his turn , to be able to bring, very modestly, a testimony of his time on this oh so fascinating environment!

For around twenty years until 2016, he anchored in the small port of Sainte-Marine in the commune of Combrit, where he ran his personal gallery in the summer season. He has won prizes in regional or national exhibitions and competitions (Châteauneuf du Faou, Briec de l’Odet, Douarnenez, Chartres, Argol, Loctudy, Quimper, Roscoff, Bénodet, Pont-Croix). It has been selected several times at the Salon de la Marine (Paris). Since October 2012, he has been a painter at the Academy of Maritime Arts and Sciences.
