Tropical Seascape Print by Maurice Meyer

This item is a framed fine art print depicting a vibrant tropical seascape at either sunrise or sunset. The composition features a prominent sun disk, likely rendered in hues of orange and yellow, casting a luminous reflection across the choppy ocean waves and wet sand. In the foreground to the left, silhouetted palm trees add to the tropical ambiance. The right side of the image reveals a rugged, mist-shrouded coastline with mountainous or hilly terrain. The sky transitions from a warm, orange-pink hue near the horizon to deeper purples and blues higher up, indicating twilight. The water exhibits a dynamic quality, with white-capped waves crashing onto the shore, their foamy crests illuminated by the sun's reflection. The color palette is rich and evokes a sense of tropical warmth and the dramatic beauty of a coastal evening or morning. The print appears to be housed within a white or off-white matting, which is then enclosed in a dark, possibly black or very dark brown, frame. There are no immediately visible condition issues from the provided image, but the reflection on the glass makes detailed inspection difficult. The print is signed by Maurice Meyer, as indicated by the context, suggesting it is a limited edition piece or an artist's proof, as indicated by what appears to be a numerical notation (e.g., xxx/xxx or AP) in the lower left corner. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, with fine details in the water and sky, indicative of a professional art print. The style leans towards realistic or romantic landscape art, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
