Flat Beach by Sunset 1826

"Flat Beach by Sunset" is an 1826 oil on canvas painting by Norwegian artist J.C. Dahl. The painting depicts a calm and tranquil scene of a flat beach at sunset, with a single sailboat anchored in the shallows. The sky is filled with soft, light-filled clouds, while the water reflects the golden hues of the setting sun. The scene is composed with a sense of balance and harmony, creating a mood of serenity and peace. This work is a fine example of Dahl's mastery of landscape painting, and his ability to capture the beauty of nature in a simple and elegant manner.
