The name Renoir is closely associated with paintings of dancers, boaters, women, the celebration of life, and the enjoyment of leisure, which makes Seascape and its storm-tossed ocean quite unusual and unexpected.
For his landscapes, Renoir preferred sunny days with blue skies and calm winds; rarely do we see unsettled weather, and there are only four known winter scenes.

Il nome di Renoir è strettamente associato con dipinti di ballerini, diportisti, donne, la celebrazione della vita ed il godimento del tempo libero, il che rende Seascape ed il suo oceano tempestato di intemperie inusuali ed inaspettati.
Per i suoi paesaggi, Renoir preferiva giornate soleggiate con cielo azzurro e venti calmi; raramente vediamo condizioni meteorologiche instabili e ci sono solo quattro scene invernali conosciute.
