A work by a talented artist, who was often called the "American Turner" for the influence of J.M.W. Turner on his work. However, he was not his successor, only inspired by him and created in his own style.
This painting depicts a quiet evening on the coast, most likely - the northeast of the USA, where the author spent a lot of time, being inspired and painting canvases. He liked to combine watercolor and gouache to create smooth transitions, in particular - in works on a natural theme. "View of a Beach" was no exception.
Light paper was used for the work, thanks to which it was possible to convey the transparency and some fairytale-like quality of the landscape. Light strokes and lines, the absence of excessive detail - everything contributes to the reproduction of a calm evening on the shores of the Atlantic.
