"La Madrague ou La Pêche au Thon" (The Tuna Fishery) is a painting by the French artist Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714–1789), who was renowned for his marine landscapes and seascapes. This work is part of Vernet's series of paintings that depict various sea ports and activities related to the sea, which were highly popular during the 18th century. The painting captures the drama and intensity of a tuna fishing expedition, a subject that reflects Vernet's interest in the interaction between humans and the sea.

In "La Madrague ou La Pêche au Thon," Vernet showcases his skill in rendering the tumultuous ocean and the dynamic human activity associated with the traditional method of tuna fishing known as "la madrague." This method involved creating a maze of nets that would guide the tuna into an enclosed space where they could be easily caught. The painting likely illustrates a scene from the Mediterranean coast, where this type of fishing was common.

Vernet's attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the scene are evident in the work. The composition is bustling with the energy of fishermen at work, the thrashing of the fish, and the onlookers gathered to witness the event. The artist's use of light and color enhances the realism of the scene, with the sunlight reflecting off the water and the natural hues of the sea and sky.

As a leading marine painter of his time, Vernet's works were commissioned by patrons including the French monarchy, and his paintings were sought after for their combination of accuracy and romanticism. "La Madrague ou La Pêche au Thon" exemplifies Vernet's talent for capturing the essence of maritime life and his contribution to the genre of marine painting. The work is significant for its historical depiction of fishing practices and for its artistic merit, as it demonstrates the aesthetic and technical abilities that made Vernet a celebrated artist of the 18th century.
