On The Beach At Trouville 1871

"On the Beach at Trouville" is an Impressionist painting by Claude Monet from 1871. It depicts two women in striped dresses, seated on a beach at Trouville-sur-Mer in Normandy, France. The painting captures a moment of leisure and the casual atmosphere of the seaside. Monet's loose brushstrokes and use of light and color are characteristic of Impressionism. The focus on light and atmospheric effects distinguishes the painting from the more formal style of traditional academic art. This work captures the essence of Impressionism and the artist's interest in capturing fleeting moments in nature.
