About this work

This painting shows a rocky shore in the foreground. The rocks are rough and brown, with some patches of green. Behind them, the sea is choppy, with small waves crashing. In the distance, a big, flat island rises from the water. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show the texture of the rocks and water. The colors are mostly muted, but the sky has a soft glow. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.

Alexei Vasilievici Hanzen

Alexei Vasilievici Hanzen made quiet, small-scale seascapes and landscapes that feel like the visual equivalent of a held breath.
