Customs House 1882

Claude Monet’s *Customs House* (1882) is a stunning example of Impressionism. The painting captures a picturesque scene of a small cottage perched atop a cliff overlooking a vast expanse of the sea. Monet's signature brushstrokes create a sense of movement and light, particularly in the depiction of the water, highlighting the subtle shifts in color and texture as the waves gently roll in. This painting exemplifies Monet’s artistic focus on capturing the fleeting beauty of nature, especially in the soft hues and atmospheric effects that define his works.
