Cliff at Varengeville (Falaise à Varengeville), c. 1882 by Claude Monet

Cliff at Varengeville, painted by Claude Monet in 1882 depicts the high chalk clifftops above the small Norman village of Varengeville-sur-Mer, where Monet spent an unusually productive stretch that year. Looking out along the grassy cliff edge toward the open Channel beyond, the canvas is built from the broken brushwork and clear, sunlit palette of his early-1880s coastal manner.

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