“A Breezy Day, Cornwall,” painted by David James in 1890, represents the Realism art movement and belongs to the marina genre. The artwork vividly captures the essence of a breezy day along the Cornish coast.
The painting features a dynamic seascape where robust waves are crashing against rugged rocks. The sea is depicted in various shades of blue and green, with white foam marking the powerful waves. In the background, small sailboats are visible, struggling against the waves. The sky is a blend of light and cloud, suggesting a breezy yet bright day. The attention to detail reflects the Realist movement’s emphasis on accurate depiction, conveying the raw power and beauty of nature with profound authenticity.
