CÔTE NORMANDE, MER DÉCHAÎNÉE
Oil on canvas

Private Collection
The Normandy coastline stretches for nearly 640km via a series of smaller "côtes" with incredibly evocative names: Côte d’Albâtre (Alabaster Coast), Côte Fleurie (Flower Coast), Côte de Nacre (Mother of Pearl Coast), and so on.
Its cliffs form an imposing wall of chalk which rise in places to over 100m in height. As you travel from one place to the next, you'll come across valleys and narrow creeks which are home to fishing ports and tourist resorts. More on The Normandy coastline
Ernest Buttura, born 28 November 1841 in
Paris and died in that city in 1920, was a French
painter. He entered the School of Fine Arts in
1861 and exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1863. He divided his time
between Paris and Cannes.
Siagne, the plain of Laval and the mountains of
the Var inspired his work. In Cannes he had a workshop and was an iconic
painter of this city. Even thouigh the majority of his paintings were landscapes, he also made studies
of rocks and undergrowth, animal paintings, still lifes, bouquets of flowers,
and oriental compositions. More on Ernest Buttura
