Fisherman's House at Petit-Ailly (La Maison du pêcheur à Petit-Ailly), 1882 by Claude Monet

Fisherman's House at Petit-Ailly, painted by Claude Monet in 1882 depicts a modest fisherman's cottage perched on the grassy cliffs above Petit-Ailly, near Varengeville on the Normandy coast. Monet balances the solid geometry of the red-roofed cottage against the sweeping expanse of sea and sky, capturing the shifting light and weather of the Channel coastline. The painting belongs to a series of views Monet made of this same cottage throughout 1882, each recording a different atmospheric effect.

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