Since the end of the 19th century, artists have been depicting the lives of the inhabitants of the Opal Coast coastline. Particular attention has been paid to the lives of children: beach games, the joy of swimming, hard work alongside their parents, or moments of rest after a long day have formed favorite themes for painters and sculptors.
This book reproduces and comments on a significant collection of works to describe the daily lives of children of the sea a little over a century ago. Between the intimate scenes of maternity, where an unfailing tenderness shines through, and the more social representations of children busy with the difficult tasks of fishing, these works arouse a whole range of feelings in the heart of the viewer.
