# Girls Bathing at the Seaside [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VERNET, Claude-Joseph]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 50 x 74 cm ## Commentary This painting is characteristic of the extensive oeuvre of the brothers Claude Joseph and Jean Antoine Vernet. Inspired by the ancient ruins of Rome, the coastal towns and the luminous atmosphere of Italy, they created romantic port and seascapes as well as night pieces and shipwrecks. This high-quality landscape with an Italian atmosphere is signed and dated "J. Vernet . P. Romae 1761". However, the painting cannot be conclusively attributed to one particular brother, since both signed their paintings "J. Vernet". ## Related artworks - [A Seashore \(detail\)]() - [A Seashore]() - [Capriccio view of Montferrat]() - ["Clair de Lune"]() - [Coastal Landscape]() - [Coastal Landscape with Fishermen Hauling in their Nets]() - [Coastal Scene in Moonlight]() - [Coastal Scene]() - [Coastal View with a Rainbow]() - [Italian Harbour Scene]() - [Italianate River Landscape]() - [Landscape with Bathers]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
