Rising Tide at Pourville (Marée montante à Pourville), 1882 by Claude Monet

Rising Tide at Pourville (Marée montante à Pourville), painted by Claude Monet in 1882 surveys the choppy, windswept Channel from a clifftop, its rows of white-capped waves rendered in thick, forceful strokes of silver and blue. A small red-roofed customs cottage clings to the cliff at right, half hidden in green foliage spilling toward the shore. Painted during Monet's 1882 campaign on the Normandy coast and inspired in part by Courbet's marines, the canvas now hangs in the Brooklyn Museum.

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