The Beach / The Ocean
The beach as a part of nature and a place for health
As the perception of nature changes
from chaos and threat to "natural", original,
picturesque scenery, the beach becomes a destination
for the first time, boat trips (Gulf of Naples,
gondola), fishermen songs and the ocean as
topic of art become popular at the end of 18th c.
At the same time water (and fresh
air) starts to be seen as positive for health, washing
and bathing stop to been seen as bad for the human
body
Seaside resorts are started in
Britain and later also in Germany (1797 Doberan).
The ocean becomes "blue" instead of "bloody
red" or "dark".
