For most of us, Nozal is an emblematic painter of Brittany, more particularly of Saint-Briac of which he was one of the famous artist, but that is to forget that, Parisian by birth, he was a great traveler, surveying France through his meetings and his family visits. From Brenne with his Master Evariste Vital-Luminais who was the subject of his first shipment to the Show, to the Pyrenees where his sister ended up living and which he visited until the Basque Country of which he left several views like of our painting where the mastery of the artist lets us hear the surf and the cries of seagulls in a poorly represented view of this significant site of the Basque Coast.
