Fir Trees at Varengeville (Les Sapins à Varengeville), 1882 – Claude Monet Wall Art | Impressionist Norman Clifftop Canvas Print

Painted in 1882, Claude Monet's Fir Trees at Varengeville (Les Sapins à Varengeville) depicts a stand of evergreens rising along the clifftop near the small Norman hamlet of Varengeville, a short distance from Dieppe and from the painter's intensive Pourville campaign of the same year. The freely handled brushwork and chromatic restraint of the canvas place it firmly within Monet's mature Impressionist manner, while the unusual subject — the dark verticals of fir trees against the Channel sky — distinguishes it within the great cycle of Norman coastal works. A historically distinctive and atmospherically composed work for any interior drawn to the masterworks of French Impressionism.
