1845
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Oceanie is a 1845 by Charles Meryon, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a serene ocean scene with a few people wading in the water on the left. A ship is visible in the distance, and a small island with trees and bushes is on the right. The sky above is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful. The painting's style suggests a romanticized view of the ocean. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth in the scene. To learn more about the artist's style and techniques, look up Romanticism.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
