The Beach at Trouville (La Plage à Trouville), 1870 by Claude Monet

The Beach at Trouville (La Plage à Trouville), painted by Claude Monet in 1870 looks along the raised boardwalk of the fashionable resort, where elegantly dressed holidaymakers stroll past grand seafront hotels hung with fluttering tricolour flags. Beyond the pale sweep of sand a single sailing boat leans into the breeze under a bright, breezy sky of scudding cloud. Painted during the summer honeymoon Monet spent on the Normandy coast, the canvas is a sparkling record of seaside leisure caught in quick, sunlit Impressionist strokes.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1870.
