Petit Dalles at Normandy 1908

"Petit Dalles at Normandy" is a 1908 oil painting by the French artist Gustave Loiseau. It depicts a coastal scene in Normandy, with a white cliff face rising dramatically from a sandy beach. The painting is known for its Impressionist style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The green waves rolling in towards the shore and the two figures walking along the beach add a sense of movement and scale to the composition, while the light filtering through the clouds above adds a soft, luminous quality to the scene.
