The painting depicts a picturesque landscape at sunset with a view of the sea and the fortress building. In the foreground is a group of people by the shore, some in boats, others sitting or standing on the shore. A large tree dominates the landscape and the shadows in the scene suggest late afternoon. The historic clothing and architectural style of the building suggest that this is a scene from the pre-modern era.

Claude Lorrain (1600-1682). Family name Gelée. French landscape artist. He was the most important author of 17th century landscape paintings. He uncovered the beauty of different times of day - because of this, he painted landscapes with light from the west, east or in different weather conditions. Especially at the beginning, he enjoyed painting landscapes with distant views, distant horizons and elaborate details. In the more mature period of his life, he simplified his composition and tried to capture the atmosphere of the place. He painted pictures with tranquil views of the sea combined with monumental architecture (often ruins of ancient buildings - see his most famous painting The Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba), landscapes and vast groves, all in a poetic and harmonic spirit. His painting techniques had many followers and lasted until the onset of Impressionism.
