The Nile — Evening

Henry Bacon was not the only American artist inspired by the beauty of the East. But few could handle watercolor as masterfully as he did. Thanks to the airiness and fluidity of the medium, the painting gives the impression of a mirage — as if everything we see is a fantasy against the backdrop of the scorching desert sun.

A magical, atmospheric, and warm painting that transports us to the banks of the Nile at sunset. The artist uses warm colors and gentle brushstrokes to evoke a sense of wonder. And for added detail — graphite lies at the foundation. Here, no one is in a hurry, life flows slowly, and time itself seems to pause to catch the last rays of light.
