Description: | The sun sets over the sea, illuminating the scene with a beautiful evening light. The yachts and the white horses hint at a strong breeze. The artist has seemingly worked quite fast on this work, as shown by the quick strokes depicting the clouds and the sea, and she most likely worked outside to capture the effect of the moment on a small canvas. The cliffs in the background indicate that this view was probably made either in Normandy, where Joséphine painted Souvenir de Normandie: soleil couchant, 1868, or near Boulogne-sur-Mer or Calais, where she painted several canvases during her stays in the area. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8950... | Go to resource |
