Cliff near Dieppe 1896

Claude Monet's "Cliff near Dieppe," painted in 1896, exemplifies his Impressionist style with its focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The soft brushstrokes and muted color palette convey the hazy, ethereal quality of the scene, showcasing the cliffside bathed in the soft glow of a misty morning. The flock of birds in flight adds a dynamic element, further enhancing the sense of movement and transience. This piece exemplifies Monet's fascination with the natural world, particularly the way sunlight transforms landscapes.
