Description:
Increasingly as the 19th century progressed, aristocrats and bourgeois alike discovered the pleasures of holidays by the sea. Monet, Manet and Degas all painted beach scenes. But more conservative artists also discovered the beach and its pleasures. Among these juste milieu artists was Ernst-Ange Duez. On this medium-sized canvas, Duez gives us a slice of a Channel beach: Northern certainly, slightly overcast, and with parasols playing an unnecessary role with the lack of sun. While not an Impressionist himself, Duez knew and owned paintings by them. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
