Description:
Joseph Vermeiren was a geologist from Belgium married to the Greek Cypriot Agni Markides. He came to Cyprus to work at the copper mines and he was an amateur artist. He held several of his own exhibitions on the island and participated in many others. This oil on canvas depicts the shores of Kyrenia. Quite often, and on a clear day, the Turkish coast becomes distinguishable from the northern Cypriot coast, though not with the clarity that artistic license allows in the picture. The carob tree is to be found all over the island. The low houses by the sea most probably mark the outskirts of Kyrenia town.
