"The Shady Beach" is a notable painting by Henri Edmond Cross, a prominent French painter and printmaker associated with the Neo-Impressionist movement. Created in 1897, this work exemplifies Cross's mature style, characterized by the use of vibrant colors and the technique of pointillism, which involves applying small, distinct dots of color in patterns to form an image. Cross, whose real name was Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix, adopted his pseudonym to distinguish himself from the famous Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix.

The painting captures a tranquil coastal scene, likely inspired by the Mediterranean landscapes that Cross frequently depicted. "The Shady Beach" portrays a serene shoreline bathed in sunlight, with the interplay of light and shadow creating a harmonious and idyllic atmosphere. The composition is marked by its meticulous attention to detail and the artist's skillful manipulation of color to convey the effects of light and shade.

Cross's work is often associated with the broader Neo-Impressionist movement, which sought to bring scientific rigor to the study of color and light. Influenced by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, Cross adopted the pointillist technique but gradually developed a more fluid and expressive style. His later works, including "The Shady Beach," reflect a synthesis of pointillism with a more relaxed and lyrical approach to brushwork.

"The Shady Beach" is celebrated for its vibrant palette and the sense of calm it evokes, capturing the essence of a leisurely day by the sea. It stands as a testament to Cross's mastery of color and his ability to create a sense of depth and luminosity through the careful placement of individual brushstrokes. The painting remains an important example of Neo-Impressionist art and continues to be admired for its beauty and technical sophistication.
