Unknown Artist - Fishermen on the Shore

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

The artist demonstrates a strong post-Impressionist technique. Indeed, his hand is characterized by the use of rapid brushstrokes, delineating figures and objects in a summary, almost synthetic manner. This indicates a desire to go beyond Impressionism, adopting a pictorial approach suited not only to the rendering of the vibrations of the muted light that pervades the scene, or the refractions of the water and the overall humid atmosphere that saturates the air, but also conveying expressive values ​​related to the immediacy and simplicity of the daily existence of the lower classes.

The artist behind this work is clearly inspired by the realist and genre movements of late nineteenth-century painting. He displays a remarkable post-Impressionist technique.
