La Pointe de la Hève at Low Tide, painted by Claude Monet in 1864 depicts the chalk cliff promontory on the Normandy coast near Sainte-Adresse, with a rowboat and figures gathered on the pale shingle beach beneath a heavy, overcast sky. Monet worked the subject in the open air near his family’s summer home outside Le Havre, then reworked a larger studio version for submission to the Paris Salon. Accepted in 1865, it was one of the first two paintings Monet ever exhibited publicly, marking the debut of one of the defining careers in nineteenth-century art.
