Fishing nets at Pourville 1882

Claude Monet's "Fishing nets at Pourville" (1882) is a captivating example of Impressionism. The painting depicts the aftermath of a fishing expedition, with the nets, suspended between boats, casting hazy shadows across the turbulent sea. Monet's characteristic brushstrokes capture the fleeting light and movement of the water and sky, creating a sense of atmosphere and depth. The rocky shoreline in the foreground provides a grounding element, contrasting with the dynamic forces of nature captured in the background.
