The Customs Officer’s House at Varengeville (La Cabane du douanier à Varengeville), 1882 by Claude Monet

The Customs Officer’s House at Varengeville (La Cabane du douanier à Varengeville), painted by Claude Monet in 1882 sets the little stone watch hut on a wild, shrub covered headland, the Channel spreading below in restless waves of green, silver and cream. Monet tips the horizon high so the sea nearly fills the canvas, its shimmering surface flecked with breaking light. He discovered the cabin during his productive 1882 campaign at Pourville and Varengeville, beginning a clifftop motif he would revisit for more than a decade.

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