"Fishing Boats, Les Martiques" is a notable painting by the Australian artist Harold Brocklebank Herbert, who was renowned for his contributions to landscape and marine art in the early to mid-20th century. Created in the early 1930s, this work exemplifies Herbert's adeptness at capturing the serene and picturesque qualities of coastal life. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of fishing boats moored at the harbor of Martigues, a charming town in the south of France often referred to as the "Venice of Provence" due to its intricate network of canals and vibrant maritime culture.

Herbert's choice of Martigues as a subject reflects his broader interest in European landscapes, which he explored extensively during his travels. The composition of "Fishing Boats, Les Martiques" is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious interplay of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of calm and timelessness. The artist's use of a muted yet rich color palette enhances the atmospheric quality of the painting, evoking the gentle lapping of water and the quiet industriousness of the fishing community.

In this work, Herbert's technique showcases his mastery of both watercolor and oil painting, blending the fluidity and transparency of watercolors with the depth and texture of oils. This dual approach allows for a nuanced depiction of the reflective surfaces and the intricate details of the boats and their surroundings. "Fishing Boats, Les Martiques" stands as a testament to Herbert's ability to convey the beauty and tranquility of maritime scenes, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and a cherished example of early 20th-century Australian art.
