Cliffs near Dieppe 1882

Claude Monet's "Cliffs near Dieppe" from 1882 is a beautiful example of Impressionist landscape painting. The work captures the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere on the Normandy coast. The painting features a large cliff face dominating the composition, with a soft, hazy sky above. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, giving the painting a sense of movement and vibrancy. The pastel palette creates a calming mood, while the subtle details of the beach and sea add a sense of realism. Monet was a pioneer of the Impressionist movement, known for his exploration of light and color, and his paintings of the French countryside are some of the most famous works of Impressionism.
