the fortress of Gravelingen on the northern French steep coast
Grevelingen is a municipality in the north of France, in the French Westhoek. The municipality belongs to the Northern Département. Grevelingen is located on the Opal Coast,
The view of the fortress enthroned high on a cliff and the beach below with some beach huts, prams and swimmers is put on paper in light colours and glazed from broad to impasto short brushstrokes. The play of light and shadow on the cliff on the beach, which is wide at low tide, is particularly well seen from an atmospheric point of view. In terms of motifs, the artist picks up on the bathing culture that was becoming increasingly popular in the 19th century, initially centred on a few seaside resorts in southern England and northern France. One of these was the seaside resort of Gravelingen on the Côte d'Opale, known for its dune landscapes, long sandy beaches and high cliffs.
