Impressionist sea coastal view ( in Croatia ?) was executed by famous Austrian painter Eduard Ameseder (1856 Czernowitz - 1938 Vienna).

Eduard Ameseder was a son of the engineer Theodor Ameseder. He received his schooling at the high school in Leutschau and the secondary school in Pancsova. After graduating from high school, he first attended the Vienna Art Academy, where he was a student of Christian Griepenkerl (1876 to 1879) and Eduard Peithner von Lichtenfels (1880 to 1886). He then continued his training with Gustav Schönleber in Karlsruhe from 1887 to 1891. He spent the following year in Munich.

Apart from trips that took him to the North and Baltic Seas and the northern Balkans, Ameseder stayed in Vienna from 1893 onwards. Since then he has been a member of the Künstlerhaus Vienna, with an interruption from 1900 to 1905, during which he belonged to the newly founded Hagenbund.[2] He was also a corresponding member of the Association of Styrian Visual Artists.

Ameseder primarily painted landscapes in an impressionistic style, and depictions of environments are also part of his oeuvre. He developed an individual oil and tempera technique that gave his pictures a high level of luminosity and depth of color when applied using translucent paint. Occasionally he also used the techniques of watercolor, gouache, pastel and pen drawing.
