Houses on the Cliff at Pourville, painted by Claude Monet looks down a grassy hollow toward two small houses sheltered among wind-tossed shrubs on the Normandy coast, with a calm blue-gray sea and a scattering of white sailboats stretching to the horizon. Touches of russet and gold in the foreground foliage play against the cool expanse of water beneath a soft overcast sky. The scene belongs to Monet's celebrated painting campaigns around the fishing village of Pourville, near Dieppe, where he worked intensively on the cliffs above the English Channel.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926).
