The work "Early Beach" by Maurice Prendergast, made in 1897, is presented as a vibrant testimony of lifestyle on the coast and the playful interaction between nature and the human being. Prendergast, an outstanding representative of the movement of the painters of the Altos de Boston and impressionism, achieves in this work to capture an atmosphere of joy and carefreeness in a beach environment.

Tones of blue, green and warm red and yellow are intertwined to evoke sunlight and its reflection into the sea, injecting life and energy into the scene.
