About the piece

Created in 1901 by Auguste Oleffe, 'Breakwater at Nieuwpoort' is a masterful study of light and atmosphere on the North Sea. The painting utilizes a sophisticated palette of deep browns and muted greys to capture the rhythmic motion of the tides against the stationary breakwater, offering a sense of quiet, enduring presence.
