EDITORS COMMENTS
Seaside (July: Specimen of a Portrait), 1878 captures the essence of a blissful summer vacation by the sea. In this painting, part of James Tissot's series depicting allegories for each month, we see a woman in a relaxed pose, basking in the bright sunlight that reflects off the sand and filters through an awning into the room. The focal point of the portrait is undoubtedly the woman's face, which catches the rebounding light from her ruffled dress. Identified as Kathleen Newton, Tissot's British mistress during that time period, she exudes an air of tranquility and contentment. Her presence adds depth to this composition as she embodies both beauty and mystery. Tissot masterfully captures not only his subject but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for carefree days spent at seaside resorts. The distant beach visible through an open window serves as a reminder of endless possibilities awaiting beyond those walls. This oil on fabric painting showcases Tissot's exceptional talent in capturing natural light and its interplay with various surfaces. It is no wonder why it has found its place among other remarkable artworks at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Through this print from Heritage Images, viewers can transport themselves to another era and experience firsthand the allure and serenity that comes with summertime escapades by the sea.
