Regatta at Sainte-Adresse (Régates à Sainte-Adresse), 1867 by Claude Monet

Regatta at Sainte-Adresse (Régates à Sainte-Adresse), painted by Claude Monet in 1867, depicts a sunlit summer day at the fashionable Normandy resort near Le Havre. Under a wide sky brushed with billowing clouds, a fleet of white-sailed boats races across the sparkling blue water while well-dressed spectators gather along the shingled beach. Painted the year before his breakthrough submissions to the Salon, the canvas already shows Monet’s growing confidence in capturing light, movement and open-air atmosphere.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1867.
