About the piece
Painted in 1878, this evocative seascape by Louis Artan captures the atmospheric drama of the coast. With its low horizon and churning, foamy waves, the work highlights Artan’s mastery of the 'plein air' style, using a muted palette of sage greens, earthy ochres, and stormy greys to convey the raw power of the ocean.
