Rocks at Port-Goulphar, Belle-Île (Rochers à Port-Goulphar, Belle-Île), 1886 by Claude Monet

Rocks at Port-Goulphar, Belle-Île (Rochers à Port-Goulphar, Belle-Île), painted by Claude Monet in 1886, captures the rust-colored cliffs and jagged sea arch guarding a turquoise inlet on the wild Brittany coastline. Monet spent two autumn months on the remote island, drawn by dramatic rock formations and turbulent Atlantic light unlike anything in his earlier Normandy scenes. The canvas's deep greens and violet-shadowed stone reveal his growing fascination with nature's raw, untamed moods.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1886.
