Hamlet on the Cliffs near Giverny (Le Hameau de Falaise, près de Giverny), 1883 by Claude Monet

Hamlet on the Cliffs near Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1883 depicts a scattering of stone farm buildings and a small church tucked beneath the chalky hillside of Falaise, near Monet's newly adopted home. Rendered in fresh greens and soft ochres, the painting captures the quiet rural character of the Norman countryside that Monet explored extensively in the years following his move to Giverny. It reflects his growing devotion to the landscape surrounding his new home, a subject he would return to for the rest of his life.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1883.
