Lucien Marcelin Gautier \'Lucien Gautier\': A fine French etcher and designer, Lucien Marcelin Gautier first studied art in Aix-en-Provence under Marius Reynaud. He then completed his education in Paris, under Gaucherel. He began his career there etching and engraving plates after the designs of Corot and Charles Jacque.
By 1875, however, Gautier had emerged as an original etcher of note. His fine art received medals and awards in France in 1884, 1894 and 1900.During his successful career Lucien Gautier both designed and etched views of Rome, Venice, London and elsewhere. Yet his name will always be most strongly associated with his wonderful views of Paris and other major French cities. In particular, during the 1880\'s, he was commissioned by the prestigious French publisher, L\'Art, to create large etchings of Paris and Marseille.
As can be seen from this original etching, one would have to go back several decades to the revolutionary etchings of Charles Meryon to find such masterful architectural depictions. With its strong detailing and atmospheric effects, Un Coin Du Vieux - Port A Marseille, is a striking example of the architectural and landscape art of Lucien Gautier at its best.
Printed upon fine, 19th century hand-made, laid paper bearing the \'Arches\' watermark and with full margins as published in Paris in 1883 by L\'Art. A superbly printed impression and in excellent condition throughout. This original etching represents a prime example of the nineteenth century art of Lucien Gautier.
