Shadows on the Sea. The Cliffs at Pourville (Ombres sur la mer. Les falaises à Pourville), 1882 by Claude Monet

Shadows on the Sea. The Cliffs at Pourville (Ombres sur la mer. Les falaises à Pourville), painted by Claude Monet in 1882, catches cloud shadows drifting in deep blues and greens across the shimmering surface of the Channel. Beyond the dancing water, the pale chalk cliffs of the Normandy coast glow beneath a soft rose-tinted sky, with a few small sails on the horizon. Monet painted the scene during his 1882 campaign at Pourville near Dieppe, when the cliffs and sea of the Norman coast pushed his brushwork toward pure, vibrating strokes of colour.

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