About Artwork: (1773) "Between 1753 and 1765 Joseph Vernet completed and exhibited monumental, detailed views of many of France’s ports as a commission from Louis XV. However, this successful project was abandoned before painting Brest. The secretary of state briefly revived the project by engaging the painter Louis Nicolas van Blarenberghe. Van Blarenberghe worked from gouaches documenting the harbor and naval facilities in the first months of 1773 with the aid of his son Henri who most likely executed this canvas. He records a ship called the Oiseau, which is in the process of being readied for sail by convicts dressed in red uniform sailing for La Réunion and Bourbon, French colonies in the Indian Ocean where enslaved labor fed the finances of the metropole." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
