Marée Basse (Low Tide) 1831

"Marée Basse (Low Tide)" is a lithograph by Eugène Isabey created in 1831. The artwork depicts a seascape with boats grounded on the shore during low tide. Isabey’s precise detail and dramatic depiction of the sky capture the essence of the scene. This print captures the beauty and tranquility of the natural world, with the vastness of the ocean juxtaposed against the grounded ships. The composition is balanced by the use of light and shadow, with the receding waterline creating a sense of depth.
