About the piece
Painted around 1855, this oil study by Félix Ziem captures the fleeting, golden light of a sunset over the water. A master of the Barbizon school's atmospheric sensibilities, Ziem uses thick, textured brushwork to create a high-contrast scene where the luminous sky reflects off the ripples of the sea, juxtaposed against the deep, heavy shadows of the coastline.
