Cliffs of Puy 1901

Gustave Loiseau’s *Cliffs of Puy* (1901) is a landscape painting characteristic of French Impressionism. The artist, a follower of Claude Monet, captures the ethereal beauty of the French coastline with a focus on light and atmospheric effects. The scene is depicted from a high vantage point, showcasing the dramatic cliffs and the expanse of the sea, which is rendered in a palette of subtle blues, greens, and purples. The painting's emphasis on capturing fleeting moments of light and color reflects the Impressionist movement’s aim to capture the effects of light on nature.
