Finistère, Tempête by Renée Carpentier Wintz captures the raw energy of the Breton coastline with dynamic brushwork and a palette alive with seafoam and spray. The painting evokes the power and drama of the Atlantic in full swell, where rocks and waves collide under a windswept sky. A striking example of French marine painting, this work is perfect for collectors drawn to coastal landscapes infused with movement, atmosphere, and the spirit of the untamed sea.
Renée Carpentier-Wintz was born in Paris in 1913 and specialised in painting impressionist style landscapes and harbour scenes of Brittany.
