Seascape 1831

Theodore Rousseau's "Seascape" from 1831 depicts a tranquil coastal scene. The painting features a calm sea with a lone sailboat in the foreground, receding into the distance with a distant mountain range on the horizon. The painting is a testament to Rousseau's mastery of the Barbizon School style, known for its focus on realistic depictions of nature and the beauty of everyday landscapes. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as the soft brushstrokes, contribute to the serene and meditative atmosphere of the work.
