Boats on the Beach at Étretat (Bateaux sur la Plage à Étretat), 1883 by Claude Monet

Boats on the Beach at Étretat, painted by Claude Monet in 1883 shows fishing boats drawn up on the pale sand beneath the towering chalk cliffs of the Normandy coast, with the sea rendered in soft blue-green strokes and distant bathers dotting the shore. Monet made this scene during a stay at Étretat, part of a sustained campaign of coastal paintings that captured the region's dramatic cliffs and working fishing fleet.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1883.
