Description
Beach Scene by Winslow Homer 1869
Among Homer’s works, Beach Scene comes closest to Impressionism, both for its lively handling and its luminosity. In order to paint it, Homer located his canvas parallel to the shoreline but a few feet back from it, resulting in a composition structured through three broad, horizontal bands of almost identical size. The scene is almost devoid of incidental detail and the perspective seems flattened. Perhaps the most striking element is the emphasis on the reflections of the children on the wet sand, the liveliness of which contrasts with the real figures.
