Poul Friis Nybo
Poul Friis Nybo, Coastal View With Breakers, Oil Painting

c. 1920

About the Item

This early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Poul Friis Nybo (1847-1932) depicts breaking waves on the coast of North Zealand, Denmark. Nybo painted this outside, standing by his easel on the sands at North Zealand. The sound of breakers ever-present, the occasional sailboat gliding through a sun-bleached horizon. He came to relax, mixing business with pleasure, and capturing this blissful moment in shimmering tints. For many years he’d been unwell, which slowed his career. These Summer escapes to the beaches close to home served as a tonic. The vivid sunrays radiating from a crack in the clouds are perhaps an optimistic metaphor for better times ahead. The work is currently unframed but would hang well as a canvas.
