V. Source - Boats

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

The work was created based on a realist poetics of simplicity. The three boats are depicted by the painter as they are, without any kind of idealization or aesthetic filter. The artist's pictorial contribution is fundamental to this poetry of reality, in an interpretation essentially based on color. The strokes are rapid and immediate, offering the viewer a complex and unconventional vision. We note the painter's particular skill in capturing the light reflections on the water's surface.
