Édouard Manet (1832-1883) painted this canvas in the summer of 1873, during three weeks spent with his family in the little coastal town of Berck-sur-Mer. He had his wife and brother pose for him on the beach, as is evidenced by the grains of sand mixed with the paint.

Just beautiful! I love the bit of sand mixed with the paint!
ReplyDeleteFascinating to read about Manet
ReplyDeleteIt's creative to make use of the natural surroundings when painting. I wonder how comfortable it was for them being covered with heavy layers of clothing!
