Quittée de port. La rade et les Monts toulonnais.
Fréquentée depuis l'Antiquité par les Grecs, puis les Romains, la rade de Toulon abrite toujours un port militaire et un port de commerce.
Fermée par le Cap de Carqueiranne à l'Est et la presqu'île de St Mandrier au Sud, la protégeant de la pleine mer, elle est dominée par les Monts toulonnais d'Ouest en Est : le Baou des Quatre Oures ("4 vents" en provençal) 576m, le Mont Caume (804m), le Mont Faron (584m), le Mont Coudon (702m).
Le bagne :
Au début du XVIIème siècle, Louis XIII transfére à Toulon et Marseille la Flotte du Levant, de guerre et de commerce.
Louis XIV, dédie le commerce à Marseille et consacre à Toulon la guerre qui devient le port d’attache des galères royales (et ses galériens).
En 1748 Louis XV remplaçant la peine des galères par celle des fers, Toulon inaugura alors le premier bagne de France.
Napoléon III, créant en 1852, les bagnes coloniaux de Cayenne et Nouvelle Calédonie, ceux de la métropole : Brest, Rochefort, Ré..., furent peu à peu abandonnés.
Toulon restera le dernier à fermer ses portes, en 1873. Bombardé en 1943, durant la seconde guerre mondiale, il n'en reste plus que le vestige de sa porte d'entrée, sur le Port.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
