"Jeune homme nu assis sur le bord de la mer" by Hippolyte Flandrin, painted in 1836, is an iconic work of art that reflects the French artist's classically oriented style. The painting depicts a young nude man sitting on a rock at the edge of the sea. The figure is depicted sideways, with his knees raised and his arms wrapped around his legs, suggesting an introspective and contemplative pose.
The background consists of a vast seascape, with gentle waves and clear skies, creating a sense of calm and serenity. Flandrin's use of light and soft colours contributes to the painting's calm and dreamy atmosphere.
This work is a wonderful example of Flandrin's skill in capturing the human form and his attention to anatomical precision. The painting exudes a timeless elegance and simplicity, making a lasting impression on the viewer.
Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin (Lyon, 23 March 1809 - Rome, 21 March 1864), known as Hippolyte Flandrin, was a French painter. He mainly produced portraits and decorative works in (neo)classicist style.
