About the piece

Painted in 1883 by Hans Thoma, this atmospheric landscape depicts the Italian coast near Lerici. The composition is defined by a sun-drenched cliff in the foreground that gives way to a vast, shimmering sea under a hazy, golden sky. Thoma’s use of warm ochre and earth tones creates a timeless, serene mood, reflecting the late 19th-century interest in light and atmosphere.
