Seascape, Storm, painted by Claude Monet in 1866, sets a lone fishing boat with a gray sail against dark, choppy waters flecked with whitecaps. A brooding, cloud-heavy sky presses down on the deep green sea, trading the sunlight of many Monet marines for shadow and dramatic atmosphere. Painted early in his career on the Normandy coast, the canvas now hangs in the Clark Art Institute and shows the young artist testing the expressive power of the sea.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1866.
