On the Cliffs of Belle Isle on Mer 1913

"On the Cliffs of Belle Isle on Mer," painted by Maxime Maufra in 1913, is a captivating seascape that captures the beauty of a sunset over the ocean. Maufra, known for his Impressionist style, uses bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to depict the golden hues of the sky reflecting on the water. The scene is viewed from a rocky cliff, offering a dramatic perspective of the vastness of the sea. The lone sailboat, a tiny speck in the distance, adds a sense of solitude and tranquility to the composition. This painting embodies the Impressionist fascination with capturing fleeting moments of light and atmosphere.
