Church of Varengeville, Morning Effect (Église de Varengeville, Effet Matinal), c. 1882 by Claude Monet

Church of Varengeville, Morning Effect, painted by Claude Monet in 1882 depicts the small Romanesque clifftop church of Saint-Valéry, perched above the Channel near Dieppe and rendered under the soft, cool light of early morning. It belongs to Monet’s sustained 1882 campaign along the Norman coast, in which he returned to the same clifftop motif under shifting atmospheric conditions, a practice that anticipated the formal series paintings of the following decade.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1882.
