Beach at Low Tide, Ambleteuse, Evening - Theo van Rysselberghe - Seascape Oil Painting suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a seascape oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of an entryway gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.
1900
Oil on canvas
Portland Art Museum - Oregon, United States.
Having developed a realistic style early in his career, painter, sculptor and designer Théo van Rysselberghe was one of a number of Belgian artists who, upon viewing George Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte at the eighth Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1886, converted to Neo-Impressionism. Reactive against what they viewed as superficial and arbitrary color choices and subject matter of the Impressionists, Neo-Impressionists applied principles of complementary color theory and color division in a technique known as pointillism.
Beach at Low Tide, Ambleteuse, Evening bears the distinct honor of being the first pointillist work acquired by the Portland Art Museum. Formed entirely of thick daubs of paint dotted directly onto the canvas, Rysselberghe’s simple composition consists of the beach at Ambleteuse leading out to the sea under a sun-setting sky. While at first the color scheme seems at odds with a naturalistic portrayal of nature, upon further inspection, a certain logic is revealed. The setting sun, perhaps the most dramatic element of the painting, streaks through the sky, formed by dazzling yellow dabs. As yellow speckles combine with lavender and blue, clouds backlit with the setting sun are created. Purple hues intermingle with bright green and blue to form a calm sea at dusk, while darker blue and green tones compose an earthy beach laced with yellow rivulets at low tide reflecting the setting sun. Here, Rysselberghe has used the science of optics to create the mood of a peaceful twilight.
