About the piece

Painted in 1887, Alfred Thompson Bricher's 'Seascape' exemplifies the artist's mastery of the marine genre. The composition highlights the translucent green of a breaking wave and the mist of the sea spray, set against a distant rocky headland topped with a lighthouse, showcasing the luminous atmosphere characteristic of late 19th-century American painting.
