The Hut at Trouville, Low Tide 1881

Claude Monet's "The Hut at Trouville, Low Tide" (1881) captures the tranquility of the French coast. The painting showcases Monet's signature Impressionist style, with loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The expansive view of the beach at low tide, punctuated by distant boats, is dominated by muted tones of blue and yellow, creating a sense of calm and serenity. The small hut in the foreground provides a human element, grounding the viewer in the scene. This work reflects Monet's fascination with the natural world and his ability to convey the beauty of everyday life through his art.
