The Persistence of Light 

"The Persistence of Light" by Mark Beck, a 20th-century artist, portrays a serene seaside scene. The painting features two houses with green roofs and awnings, their facades painted in soft hues of blue and yellow. The ocean, rendered in deep blues and whites, fills the background, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail capture the play of light and shadow, adding a sense of depth and realism to the composition.
