Description
English: Le Port de Brest, une prise de la mâture
Français : This view, taken from the masts or masting machine, at the foot of the castle embraces, on the right bank, the sector going from the commercial port of Recouvrance to the Capuchin convent, upstream of the Penfeld. On this same bank, we recognize the Church of Saint-Sauveur de Recouvrance and the Cayenne under construction. Left bank, the artist represents the quays going from the foot of the masts to the Intendance de la Marine. In front of the row of picturesque houses and the old fountain, a colourful crowd enlivens the quay dedicated to shopping activities, while ferries, the boats that used to pass from one side of the river to the other, drop off their travelers. On the Penfeld, a vessel is being refitted afloat, while in the rear, the L'Oiseau, cannons in place, exits the port pulled by two boats rowed by convicts. This gouache was made from one of the topographical views taken on site during their stay in Brest in 1773 by Louis-Nicolas Van Blarenberghe and his son Henri-Joseph. The latter also made an oil on canvas, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1794, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
