Sainte-Adresse (Bateaux de pêche sur le rivage), 1867 by Claude Monet

Sainte-Adresse (Bateaux de pêche sur le rivage), painted by Claude Monet in 1867 shows fishing boats drawn up on the shingle beach, with fishermen at work among them and the headland of Sainte-Adresse rising beyond under a sky of scudding clouds. Monet spent the summer of 1867 at his aunt's house in this resort town near Le Havre, and instead of its fashionable visitors he chose to paint the working shoreline he had known since boyhood. The canvas, an important early statement of his direct, unsentimental approach to modern coastal life, now hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

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