Label copy

Lapostolet’s view across the harbor of Dieppe includes a glimpse of the tower of the Église St. Jacques. These two aspects of Dieppe were favorites of both British and French artists. As early as the 1820s, Richard Parkes Bonington and Joseph M. W. Turner had depicted the port, to be followed by a range of French artists that included Eugène Delacroix, Charles Daubigny, and Paul Gauguin.
