In 1880, the painter experienced difficulties: the beginnings of a new style of painting, Impressionism, called into question his pictorial approach. His doctor sends him to Menton then he travels in the north of France. Berthe Morisot pushes him towards Impressionism which he adopts in his seascapes, whose sensitivity and modernity are in every way similar to those of Jongkind.<\/p>\n

Alfred Stevens paints this picture at this time of pictorial upheavals. It represents “L’Estacade” near Le Havre in Normandy, a place of pleasure in Sainte-Adresse made famous by painters (Raoul Dufy, Claude Monet to name but a few). It gives large areas of color, the sea is adorned with an avant-garde material. The shades of grey are punctuated by a few sailboats and the wooden pontoon, the” l’Estacade”. The herbs of the dune are suggested by a brushstroke. The sand disappears, it’s high tide. The back of the panel indicates that the painting was offered for sale as part of the Ischia tombola, to raise funds in aid of the victims of the 1883 earthquake.<\/p>\n

Bibliography:<\/b><\/p>\n

Son of an art dealer, A Stevens was trained in Brussels by J. F. Navez and C. Roqueplan in Paris. He exhibited in Brussels and Paris where he often stayed. <\/span>He was celebrated as the painter of women, and intitled as “French Gerard Terborch” in reference to his talent for rendering details and sumptuous fabrics, but he also painted seascapes and coastal scenes in a freer, almost impressionistic style close to Eug\u00e8ne Boudin and J.B. Jongkind. His painting is clear and luminous, his paste quite nourished. He was a friend of the impressionists, especially Manet and Berthe Morisot.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1886, he wrote the famous Impressions sur la peinture<\/i> , the book was a great success and was translated into several languages:<\/p>\n
