A camouflaged boat in the port of Marseille, painted by Henri Matisse. A harbour scene where the vessel itself draws the eye.

The title places this work in the port of Marseille and tells us its subject is a boat in camouflage. Matisse, best known for his use of colour and his fluid, original draughtsmanship, turns here to a French harbour scene. The painting belongs to a private collection, so it is not often seen. It sits among his paintings of France and of Marseille, and invites you to look closely at how a vessel disguised for concealment appears on the water.

Henri Matisse was a French artist, best known as a painter, though he also worked as a draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. His art is admired for its bold use of colour and for a fluid, original approach to drawing. Both qualities give his work a distinctive character that remains easy to recognise.
