Sainte-Adresse 1867

Claude Monet's "Sainte-Adresse" (1867) captures a picturesque scene of a French seaside village, showcasing the artist's fascination with the interplay of light and atmosphere. The painting features a collection of boats pulled ashore, with figures gathered on the beach, creating a sense of peaceful tranquility. Monet's signature Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and the depiction of the changing light on the water and the sky, with a particular focus on the hazy, gray clouds that dominate the composition. "Sainte-Adresse" is a testament to Monet's mastery of capturing the fleeting beauty of nature.
