Description
English: Coastal scenes from northern France became increasingly common in the second half of the 19th century. As the region became popular as a resort, the market for this type of images increased. Millet’s coastal seascape is a study for a larger painting. It is not clear whether the lines in the painting are part of a sketch that the artist intended to paint over – or if they were intended to outline the cliffs, as an aid to memory when working on the larger painting. Millet was best known for his paintings of rural life and harsh farm labour.
Svenska: Kustmotiven från norra Frankrike blev allt vanligare under 1800-talets lopp. I takt med att dessa trakter blev populära utflyktsmål, växte en marknad för den här typen av bilder fram. Millets kustlandskap är en studie för en större målning. Det oklart om linjerna i målningen är underteckning som konstnären egentligen haft för avsikt att måla över – eller om de var avsedda att tydligt ange klippornas former som stöd i arbetet med den större målningen. Millet var annars mest känd för sina skildringar av landsbygden och det hårda jordbruksarbetet.
