Choose options
The Boardwalk at Trouville (Sur les planches de Trouville), painted by Claude Monet in 1870 captures a bright summer day along the fashionable Normandy coast, where well dressed figures stroll a wooden boardwalk lined with beach cabins beneath a fluttering tricolor flag. Loose, rapid brushstrokes render the shifting clouds and sea breeze with the immediacy that would come to define Impressionism. Monet painted this scene during a stay at the seaside resort of Trouville sur Mer with his new wife Camille, part of a series recording the leisure culture of the fashionable beach town that summer.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1870.
