This serene beach scene, created by Belgian painter Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès, captures a beautiful sunny morning at the Lido in Venice. A great master of drawing and color, Le Mayeur already transports us, well before the exotic shores where all his talent will explode, into all the truth of the places he frequents thanks to a subtle play of light and texture.
