Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe (Marée basse à Pourville, près de Dieppe), 1882 by Claude Monet

Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe (Marée basse à Pourville, près de Dieppe), painted by Claude Monet in 1882 looks out along the Normandy coast, where receding water leaves a broad expanse of wet, glistening sand beneath the pale chalk cliffs near Dieppe. Cool blues of sea and sky meet the soft ochre and green of the headland, and tiny figures scattered across the shore convey the wide, breezy scale of the scene. The canvas comes from the productive season Monet spent on the Channel coast in 1882, when he devoted himself to the ever-changing moods of sea, cliff, and light.

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