In riva al mare

ca. 1892
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 769
Dal 1891 al 1902, Chase lavorò come direttore della Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art nella cittadina di Southampton, nello stato di New York. Insegnava due giorni alla settimana e trascorreva il resto del tempo dipingendo e godendosi la compagnia dei suoi familiari. In questo quadro donne e bambini si rilassano sulla spiaggia, probabilmente lungo la costa della baia di Shinnecock, luogo ideale per divertirsi agiatamente in una giornata perfetta. Un ampio squarcio di cielo sovrasta la scena occupando l’intera metà superiore della tela, con le nuvole che corrono veloci riflettendo le luminose forme bianche degli abiti dei bambini.
