"Villa au bord de la mer (deuxième version)" or "Villa by the Sea (second version)" is a notable painting by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, created in 1874. This work is one of several versions that Böcklin produced on the theme of idyllic villas set in serene and idealized coastal landscapes, reflecting his preoccupation with themes of nature, mythology, and mortality.

The painting depicts a classical villa situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea. The architectural elements of the villa, with its columns and arches, are reminiscent of the ancient Roman style, harmoniously integrated into the rugged natural environment. The sea is typically rendered with a sense of calm, inviting contemplation and suggesting a timeless, otherworldly space.

Böcklin's "Villa by the Sea" series is characterized by a dreamlike atmosphere, where the boundary between reality and fantasy is blurred. The second version of the series, "Villa au bord de la mer (deuxième version)," is particularly noted for its subtle interplay of light and shadow, the detailed rendering of the natural elements, and the sense of solitude and introspection it evokes.

The painting is significant within Böcklin's oeuvre as it exemplifies his symbolic approach to landscape painting and his ability to evoke mood and emotion through his use of color, composition, and texture. The work is also an important example of the broader 19th-century European symbolist movement, which sought to express the ineffable and the mystical through art.

"Villa au bord de la mer (deuxième version)" is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its technical mastery and its evocative power, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the symbolist movement and its influence on later artists. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, where it is accessible to the public and continues to inspire admiration and scholarly interest.
