Description: | Signed: yes Description: On the left of this painting two children stand on the shore signalling to distant ships with a scarf. The vivid colours convey the intense light particular to the coast. The atmosphere is also created by the use of loose brush-strokes to suggest the movement of the sea breeze on the children's clothes and hair. This painting reflects the interest that was growing in Belgian art at the end of the nineteenth century in depicting local scenes. The depiction of children made for an appealing subject. | Subjects: | landscape; marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Block, Eugène-François de (Belgian genre painter and engraver, 1812-1893) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8907... | Go to resource |
