More about this artwork

Welcome to an intimate glimpse of coastal serenity as depicted in Édouard Vuillard's "The Beach at Saint-Jacut." Painted in 1909, this artwork captures a tranquil moment on the shores of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, a charming village in Brittany, France, known for its picturesque landscapes and serene ambiance.In this painting, Vuillard employs his characteristic subtlety and muted color palette to evoke the calmness of a cloudy beach day. The composition is centered around a solitary figure, a woman dressed in a flowing robe, seemingly lost in thought as she gazes out at the sea. Her presence adds a human element to the natural scene, suggesting a narrative of contemplation or solitary enjoyment of nature's beauty.The landscape itself is rendered with brief, impressionistic brushstrokes that capture the shifting light and shadows of an overcast sky. Vuillard's use of cool blues and grays in the water contrasts with the warmer tones of the sandy beach, creating a visual harmony that reflects the peaceful atmosphere of the location. Small details, such as the scattered rocks and the gentle ripples of water around the woman’s feet, add a tactile quality to the scene, inviting viewers to feel the damp, cool air and hear the soft lapping of the waves."The Beach at Saint-Jacut" is a testament to Vuillard’s ability to transform ordinary scenes into moments of profound aesthetic and emotional depth.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
