Original Description
Arthur Quartley’s An Afternoon in August, Coast of Maine captures the serene yet dynamic beauty of Maine’s coastal landscape with masterful luminosity. Painted in the late 19th century, this work exemplifies Quartley’s signature American Luminism style, characterized by meticulous detail, soft atmospheric effects, and tranquil compositions that elevate maritime scenes into meditative reflections of nature. The painting bathes in golden August light, where calm waters mirror sailboats and a hazy sky blurs the horizon, evoking a sense of timeless stillness. Quartley, influenced by the Hudson River School and French Barbizon traditions, bridges Romanticism’s grandeur with realism’s precision. Though less widely celebrated than some contemporaries, his coastal works are prized for their poetic realism and technical finesse, offering a glimpse into Gilded Age America’s fascination with nature’s tranquility.
For interiors, An Afternoon in August lends elegance to spaces seeking harmony between sophistication and relaxation. Its coastal theme suits a study, seaside home, or corporate office aiming for a calming yet refined energy. Frame it in a slender gold or driftwood-toned frame to enhance its warm hues, and hang it at eye level in natural light to amplify its luminosity. Pair it with nautical blues, sandy neutrals, or rich mahogany furnishings for cohesion—think linen sofas or a weathered oak desk. A medium-to-large size (24"x36" or similar) ensures visibility without overwhelming smaller rooms. In minimalist settings, let it anchor the space; in traditional decor, layer it with marine artifacts or gilt mirrors. The painting’s serene balance makes it ideal for fostering focus in workspaces or serenity in living areas.
