"Fort d'Antibes, a View of the Fortress of Antibes" is a notable landscape painting by the French artist Henri-Joseph Harpignies, created in 1888. Harpignies, who was born on June 28, 1819, in Valenciennes and died on August 28, 1916, in Saint-Privé, was a landscape painter and a member of the Barbizon school, which was influential in the development of landscape painting in France during the mid-19th century. His work is characterized by a deep appreciation of nature and a skillful use of light and shadow, which is evident in "Fort d'Antibes."

The painting depicts the historic fortress of Antibes, a coastal town on the French Riviera. Antibes is known for its old town enclosed by 16th-century ramparts with the star-shaped Fort Carré, which overlooks luxury yachts moored at the Port Vauban marina. In Harpignies' work, the fortification is presented from a vantage point that captures both its imposing structure and the serene Mediterranean landscape that surrounds it.

Harpignies' technique involved meticulous detail and a palette that was often dominated by greens and blues, reflecting the colors of the natural environment. "Fort d'Antibes" is a testament to his ability to blend realism with a sense of poetic atmosphere, making his landscapes more than mere topographical representations. The painting is a valuable example of Harpignies' mature work and contributes to our understanding of the evolution of landscape painting in the late 19th century.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it captures a view of the fortress that has likely changed since the time of the painting's creation. Today, "Fort d'Antibes, a View of the Fortress of Antibes" is appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts alike for its beauty and its place within the oeuvre of Henri-Joseph Harpignies.
