Hôtel des Roches Noires in Trouville (L'Hôtel des Roches Noires, Trouville), c. 1870 by Claude Monet

Hôtel des Roches Noires in Trouville (L'Hôtel des Roches Noires, Trouville), by Claude Monet captures the festive, sun-drenched atmosphere of the fashionable Normandy resort during his honeymoon stay, with French flags snapping in the sea breeze above a promenade filled with elegantly dressed visitors. Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926), the founder of French Impressionism, rendered the scene in the loose, spontaneous brushwork of open-air painting that would come to define his mature style.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1870.
