"Villa by the Sea" (German: "Villa am Meer") is an 1878 painting by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, known for his evocative landscapes and mythological scenes. This artwork is one of Böcklin's serene and atmospheric pieces, depicting an idyllic coastal scene that harmoniously blends architecture with the natural environment.

The painting showcases a classical villa perched on the edge of a high cliff overlooking the sea. The architectural style of the villa suggests a Renaissance influence, with its arched windows and elegant proportions. The sea is rendered with a sense of calm, its gentle waves lapping at the base of the cliff. A clear sky with soft, diffused light bathes the scene, suggesting the warmth of a late afternoon.

Böcklin's use of light and shadow, along with his meticulous attention to the textural details of the foliage and the rocky landscape, creates a tranquil and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. The absence of human figures in the painting emphasizes the timeless and solitary character of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty and solitude of nature.

"Villa by the Sea" is characteristic of Böcklin's symbolist approach, where the landscape itself becomes a subject of contemplation and a canvas for the projection of human emotions and desires. The painting is a testament to Böcklin's skill in creating spaces that transcend the everyday, offering a glimpse into a world of poetic stillness and beauty.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the symbolist movement and its place within Arnold Böcklin's oeuvre. The work is also indicative of the 19th-century European fascination with classical antiquity and the Mediterranean landscape, which served as an escape from the industrialization of the era.
