About the piece

In 'Maine Coast,' Paul Dougherty captures the raw energy of the Atlantic with masterful, energetic brushwork. This 1909 oil painting emphasizes the elemental conflict between the sea and the stone, rendered in a moody palette of deep blacks, sea-foam whites, and stormy grays. The composition draws the eye across the churning foam to the dark, imposing silhouette of the Maine shoreline.
