Cliffs and Sailboats at Pourville (Falaises et voiliers à Pourville), 1882 by Claude Monet

Cliffs and Sailboats at Pourville, painted by Claude Monet in 1882 depicts the chalk cliffs near the Pointe de l’Ailly on the Normandy coast, where a scattering of small sailing boats drifts across a luminous green-blue sea beneath a pale sky. The canvas belongs to the prolific run of coastal works Monet produced during his extended 1882 stay at Pourville, a period in which he studied the same clifftop vantage under constantly shifting light and weather.

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