Dieppe 1882

Claude Monet's 1882 painting "Dieppe" showcases the artist's signature Impressionist style. The work depicts a distant view of the French town of Dieppe, with a prominent church spire and a lone figure in the foreground. Monet's characteristic loose brushstrokes and vibrant color palette capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, creating a sense of immediacy and movement. This work exemplifies Monet's fascination with capturing the changing light and reflections in nature, a theme that he explored throughout his career. "Dieppe" is a prime example of Impressionism, a movement that emphasized the subjective experience of the viewer and the fleeting effects of light.
