| Literature | The expert on the painter - Olivier Bertrand - notes the following: "Côte d’Opale is an exquisite little picture painted around 1900 by the artist, who was probably on holiday at the home of his friends Laure and Georges Flé, with whom he had a room and from where he travelled up and down the coast, working tirelessly to produce some very fine portraits and landscapes of the coast or town (Le port de Boulogne or Champs de courses à Boulogne, for example), with or without movement (think of the well-known painting La promenade, showing women walking on the beach). Côte d’Opale was rediscovered in a collection in Brussels while I was preparing the artist’s retrospective at Bozar Brussels and Gemeentemuseum The Hague (2006)." The work had been kept out of sight for a century, having probably been sold by the artist in 1904, according to the date on a letter stuck to the back and its exhibition at Bozar."
