"Barche sulla spiaggia" (Boats on the Beach) is a 1955 painting by Italian artist Ottone Rosai (1895-1957). The painting depicts a simplified, almost geometric, view of boats on a beach with white buildings behind them. The composition is balanced and serene, with soft hues and delicate brushstrokes characteristic of Rosai's style. The painting is a beautiful example of Rosai's mature style, which was characterized by its simplicity, elegance, and sensitivity.
