About the piece

Painted by Maxime Maufra around 1905, this work captures the rugged beauty of Belle-Île-en-Mer off the coast of Brittany. Maufra utilizes a sophisticated palette of seafoam green, rocky ochre, and pale greys to convey the energetic movement of the Atlantic surf against the shoreline, rendered with the rhythmic brushstrokes characteristic of French Post-Impressionism.
