Alley near Pourville 1882

"Alley near Pourville" is an 1882 oil painting by Claude Monet, depicting a pathway leading towards a bay in the French countryside. The painting's vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes are characteristic of Impressionism, a style that emerged in the late 19th century. Monet's focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere on the landscape is evident in the shimmering blue sea, the puffy white clouds, and the golden hues of the grass and sand. This work exemplifies Monet's dedication to capturing the beauty of the natural world in its most authentic form.
