The love of one's neighbors, the sense of duty, truth, and justice, if applied to daily life, would spare mankind countless sufferings, troubles, and anxieties ...
The solution of the problems which oppress the world can only be found in the practice of Charity between individuals and between nations.

This is precious! It looks like a photograph, so much the details come to life.Thanks.
I did think it was a painting, but after checking the file info on Wikimedia it seems that it is a photocrome picture. A photo of a painting? I'm not sure now. It doesn't look real enough to just be a photo directly taken of the beach.
In any case it's a charming scene.
