拍品資料及來源

在此作品中,兩位身穿最流行時裝的優雅淑女漫步在灑滿陽光的海灘上。悠閒的構圖其實一絲不苟,卡馬拉特意在空蕩的海灘添加了一座鏽蝕的加農砲,加強海灘的視覺延展。

卡馬拉在海牙成長,曾在荷蘭皇家美術學院求學,在所羅曼·弗維爾的教導下承繼了浪漫主義的傳統。1865年,卡馬拉移居巴黎,被當地的藝壇盛狀所吸引。然而,他沒有直接跟從當時流行的戶外寫生潮流,而是選擇進入巴黎美術學院跟隨尚·里奧·傑洛姆修習學院派風格。他專於描繪歐洲十八世紀的錦衣羅裳與華麗軼事。1870年首次參加巴黎「沙龍展」,1874年獲獎。1871年春,他入住席凡寧根的希魯酒店,開始以窗外景色或沙灘上的風光為作畫題材,轉向印象派風格,著重光影與氛圍的塑造。

卡馬拉對人物的細膩觀察不減,但他腦海裡的細柔沙灘、荷蘭的萬變雲空與岸邊隨海風飄起的華服成為其畫面上的主體。1889年,卡馬拉在巴黎的世界博覽會獲得銀獎,1902年獲得騎士榮譽軍團勳章。他的畫作現為阿姆斯特丹市立博物館、奧特洛的克勒·穆勒博物館及馬薩諸塞州威廉斯敦的克拉克藝術學院等頂尖藝術機構收藏。
