Garden at Sainte-Adresse (Jardin à Sainte-Adresse), 1867 by Claude Monet

Garden at Sainte-Adresse, painted by Claude Monet in 1867 depicts a sun-drenched terrace garden overlooking the English Channel at the Normandy resort of Sainte-Adresse, where fashionably dressed figures relax amid banks of flowers beneath two fluttering flags. The high horizon, flattened perspective, and bold decorative color reveal the early influence of Japanese woodblock prints on Monet’s developing eye. Painted the summer before his first Salon rejection, it stands among the most ambitious and luminous canvases of his formative years.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1867.
