Cliff at Dieppe 1882

"Cliff at Dieppe" (1882) by Claude Monet is a quintessential example of Impressionism. The painting captures the fleeting effects of light on the cliffs and the sea at Dieppe, France, using short, visible brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Monet's signature style is evident in the blurred edges and atmospheric perspective, which create a sense of depth and movement. The scene is bathed in sunlight, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow, a defining feature of the Impressionist movement.
