Jean Cocteau with fishermen at the time when he was working on his mural in the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.
In the harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer, Jean Cocteau, wearing a jacket and tie, joins fishermen handling a large net on the stone quay. This photograph was taken in 1956, during the period Cocteau was decorating the nearby Chapelle Saint Pierre. Another man sits in a small rowboat holding part of the net, while to the right, a young man in a marinière shirt stands in a boat named “SAPHIR.” In the background, the town’s buildings rise up the steep, tree-covered hillside overlooking the calm water.
