Rough Sea 1881

Claude Monet’s "Rough Sea" (1881) is an Impressionist painting capturing the dynamic energy of the sea. The sky, filled with fluffy clouds, is a vast expanse of blue and white, contrasting with the turbulent, foamy waves in the foreground. Monet’s brushstrokes, visible throughout the piece, evoke the movement of the water and the fleeting nature of light. The painting is a testament to Monet’s dedication to capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature and his exploration of the Impressionist style.
