The Rocks at Pourville, Low Tide 1882

"The Rocks at Pourville, Low Tide" is an 1882 oil painting by Claude Monet depicting a coastal scene at low tide. Known for his Impressionist style, Monet captures the fleeting effects of light and color in this work. The choppy water, depicted with loose brushstrokes, creates a sense of movement and energy. The distant shoreline and boats suggest the vastness of the sea, while the foreground rocks provide a sense of grounding. This piece showcases Monet's fascination with the natural world and his ability to translate the ephemeral beauty of a scene onto canvas.
