The Adriatic Coast 1826

"The Adriatic Coast" is a watercolor painting by Richard Parkes Bonington, a leading figure of the Romantic movement, created in 1826. The painting captures a serene scene of the Adriatic Sea, with a distant cityscape, a small boat in the foreground, and a dramatic cloudy sky. This romantic landscape is characterized by its loose brushstrokes, atmospheric effects, and emphasis on light and color. The painting is now housed in the Louvre museum in Paris.
