Cap Martin (La Pointe du Cap Martin), 1884 by Claude Monet

Cap Martin, painted by Claude Monet in 1884 captures the rocky, pine-covered point of the Riviera headland between Menton and Monte Carlo, its rust-red rocks and wind-bent trees rendered beneath a pale, hazy sky. Waves break in pale green foam against the tumbled limestone shore, while the sea beyond dissolves into a soft horizon line. The canvas belongs to the sustained campaign of Riviera coastal views Monet painted during the spring of 1884, his first extended engagement with the intense Mediterranean light.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1884.
