"Afternoon, Long Beach" is a notable painting by the American artist Francis Augustus Silva, who is renowned for his contributions to the Luminism movement in the 19th century. Silva, born in 1835, was a self-taught artist who initially worked as a sign painter before transitioning to fine art. His works are celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail, serene compositions, and masterful use of light, all of which are characteristic of the Luminist style.

Created in 1879, "Afternoon, Long Beach" exemplifies Silva's ability to capture the tranquil beauty of coastal landscapes. The painting depicts a serene beach scene bathed in the soft, golden light of the afternoon sun. Silva's precise brushwork and delicate handling of light and shadow create a sense of calm and timelessness. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a gentle interplay between the sky, sea, and sand. The horizon line is low, allowing the expansive sky to dominate the scene, which is a common feature in Luminist paintings.

The painting reflects Silva's deep appreciation for the natural world and his skill in rendering atmospheric effects. The subtle gradations of color and light in the sky and water demonstrate his keen observational skills and technical prowess. "Afternoon, Long Beach" is a testament to Silva's ability to evoke a sense of peace and contemplation through his art.

Today, "Afternoon, Long Beach" is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike. It is considered one of Silva's masterpieces and is frequently cited as an exemplary work of American Luminism. The painting is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to be admired by visitors for its serene beauty and technical excellence.
