On the Coast at Trouville 1881

"On the Coast at Trouville" (1881) by Claude Monet, is a quintessential example of Impressionism. The painting captures the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere on the landscape. A lone tree, bent by the wind, stands out against the vastness of the sea and sky, its branches reaching towards the horizon. The loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, particularly in the depiction of the green grass and blue sky, create a sense of movement and immediacy. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and peace, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of the natural world.
