Beach Scene, after 1854. Creator: Charles Francois Daubigny
Beach Scene, after 1854. Daubigny represents beached boats, mussel gatherers, and, to the right, the promontory of the Cap de la Heve, visible across the Seine estuary. The same cliffs are visible in the right distance of his large sunset painting. It is low tide, and fishing boats have been stranded on the beach at Villerville on the English Channel. Across the bay are the cliffs of Sainte-Andresse. The artist began to visit this region in 1854. Daubigny painted with light, fluid brushstrokes in an attempt to convey the changing effects of weather and the time of day. The critic Theophile Gautier criticized the artist for capturing an "impression" rather than providing a detailed image of the subject. The impressionist Claude Monet was deeply influenced by Daubigny's spontaneous method of painting outdoors. This small work on panel was probably painted outdoors in a single sitting

EDITORS COMMENTS
Beach Scene" by Charles Francois Daubigny, created after 1854, captures the picturesque beauty of the Normandy coastline in France. The painting depicts a low tide scene at Villerville on the English Channel, where beached boats and mussel gatherers populate the sandy shore. In the distance, the cliffs of Sainte-Andresse stand tall across the bay, mirroring the same cliffs visible in Daubigny's larger sunset painting. Daubigny began visiting this region in 1854 and painted this scene with light, fluid brushstrokes to convey the ever-changing effects of weather and time. Critics, such as Theophile Gautier, criticized Daubigny for capturing an "impression" rather than providing a detailed image of the subject. However, his spontaneous method of painting outdoors deeply influenced the impressionist Claude Monet. This small work on panel was likely painted outdoors in a single sitting, showcasing the artist's ability to capture the essence of the moment. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe, specifically France, and the natural beauty of the continent's coastline. The scene transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the ever-changing landscape of the sea. This oil on panel painting is a valuable addition to any collection or museum, providing a glimpse into the artistic traditions of the 19th century and the evolution of impressionism. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the Normandy coast.
