Pellegrin worked and lived in Marseilles, France. His main motifs are ship portraits of sailing vessels and occasional steamers. He worked in the French seaport of Marseilles during the second and third quarters of the 19th century. His work is characteristic of the Marseilles School, usually featuring the seaport's topography to form the painting's background. He commanded a pleasing and naturalistic style that made his works some of the most appealing of this Marine School. Widely recognized for the scope of his output and consistent high quality, paintings by Honore Pellegrin are substantially represented in numerous museum collections worldwide. The prestigious Peabody Museum in Salem, Massachusetts displays no less than 27 original works by this artist. Measuring 22" x 28" including the period gold frame.
