Seacoast at Saint-Adresse, Sunset 1864

"Seacoast at Saint-Adresse, Sunset" (1864) by Claude Monet depicts a picturesque seascape at sunset. This painting is a prime example of Monet’s early style, characterized by the use of bold colors and brushstrokes. The warm hues of the sky and water create a sense of tranquility, while the dark silhouette of the cliff adds a sense of depth and mystery. This iconic work exemplifies the Impressionist movement's focus on capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature and the effects of light.
