Six Marines: Low Tide is a 1833 by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet harbor at low tide. A large ship sits grounded on the muddy shore, its hull half-buried. Nearby, a small boat rests on the sand, and a few fishing tools—nets, ropes, and a bucket—lie scattered on the shore. The sky is soft with light clouds, and in the distance, a few buildings and another boat can be seen. The title *Six Marines: Low Tide* hints this scene captures a moment of stillness after work. The artist focused on everyday life, not grand drama. Check out Romanticism for more art that values nature and emotion over idealized scenes.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
