Although carlos de haes was the founder of outdoor painting in spain, he did not always capture his landscapes from nature, this being an example of the painting done in the workshop in view of the notes he had taken directly on the beach of saint jean de luz. The composition centers on the image of a boat stranded and destroyed on the beach in front of the immensity of the sea. The images of stranded or adrift ships focused part of haes' theme on the specific period of his life in which he was separated from his family environment. Object Type: painting. Date: 1883.
