About the piece
Painted in 1891, this work by Frits Thaulow captures the serene beauty of Montreuil-sur-Mer in Normandy. The artist's mastery is evident in the depiction of the water's surface, where soft reflections and ripples create a sense of gentle movement. The juxtaposition of the rustic brick mill buildings against the cool, pale tones of the water creates a calming and sophisticated composition characteristic of late 19th-century naturalism.
