Eugen Zardetti

Born in what’s now Romania, Eugen Zardetti painted scenes of life along the Black Sea coast in the late 1800s. His brush caught fishermen mending nets in *Marină*, the salt wind blurring the horizon behind them. The work sits in a quiet corner of Romanian coastal art, untouched by later isms. To see how the same stretch of shore looked in a neighboring decade, tap Zardetti’s *Marină* and then move right to Zograf’s *Pecheurs de Constanza*.
