DESCRIPTION
European school, XIX century.
"Village street with cart".
Oil on canvas.
Without signature.
Measurements: 33 x 46 cm, 46 x 59 cm (frame).
The painting shows a lively scene of sea bathing in the nineteenth century, under a bright and calm sky. On the beach, men and women dressed in light clothes approach the water or converse on the shore, while on one side the bathing huts are lined up, a sign of a society that begins to organize and regulate its leisure time.
The sea no longer appears as a dangerous force, but as an accessible and social space, linked to well-being and health. The scene reflects the rise of bourgeois leisure and the birth of new customs linked to free time. From the artistic point of view, the work is part of the costumbrista realism, interested in representing everyday life in a serene and recognizable way, almost like a visual chronicle of its time.
