More about this artwork

Welcome to a serene journey into Alfred William Finch's landscape oeuvre with "Shore View, Knocke" painted in 1885. This atmospheric work captures the rugged yet delicate features of the Knocke shoreline, located in Belgium.Finch, known for his harmonious use of color and texture, offers viewers a scene filled with contrasting elements that are effortlessly balanced. The painting, dominated by a muted palette of blues, grays, and earth tones, guides the eye through distinct yet fluid compositional layers. The horizon softly touches the overcast sky, while the tranquil sea merges with the shore, depicting a scene of quiet solitude.In the foreground, Finch skillfully paints a sandy path leading to the water, bordered by sparse vegetation, effectively capturing the wild, untamed beauty of the coastal landscape. There's a sense of movement in the brushwork, especially in the way the clouds and waves are rendered, contributing to an overall feeling of a fleeting, ephemeral moment."Shore View, Knocke" is more than just a geographical representation; it is a poetic interpretation of nature’s quiet drama and its understated, often overlooked, magnificence.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
