About the piece

Painted in 1891, this evocative oil study by Norwegian artist Carl Wilhelm Bøckmann Barth captures the rhythmic energy of the North Sea at Filey. The artist masterfully renders the translucent green of the breaking waves and the reflective surface of the damp sand under a luminous, expansive sky.
