The Cote Sauvate 1896

Claude Monet’s "The Cote Sauvate" (1896) is a quintessential example of Impressionist painting. The piece, known for its loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, depicts a seascape, specifically the rugged coastline of the French countryside. Monet's focus on capturing light and its effects on the water and rocks creates a dynamic scene, emphasizing the fleeting nature of nature. This painting is characteristic of Monet's series of works exploring the changing nature of light and its impact on the environment.
