Beach Scene c. 1870 - 1903

"Beach Scene" is an oil on canvas painting by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, dating back to the late 19th century. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a serene coastal vista. Weissenbruch's signature style of subdued hues and loose brushstrokes is evident in the depiction of the sandy shore, calm waters, and the boats, both anchored and sailing. The painting's muted color palette, characteristic of the Hague School, creates a sense of atmospheric tranquility, inviting viewers to contemplate the serenity of the seaside.
