| has gloss | eng: Study (Young Male Nude Seated beside the Sea) (French: Jeune Homme nu assis au bord de la mer, figure détude) is a painting by Hippolyte Flandrin executed between 1835 and 1836. Flandrin had won Frances Prix de Rome in 1832, a bursary which provided the winner with a trip to Rome to concentrate on their vocation. There, Flandrin produced this study, which he sent back to Paris in 1837, in fulfillment of the bursarys requirements for the student to submit works in the tradition of various genres. In 1857, Napoleon III purchased the painting, which is now in the collection of Pariss Louvre. |
