Port of Dieppe, Evening 1882

Claude Monet's "Port of Dieppe, Evening" (1882) depicts the French harbor at dusk, with a hazy sunset reflecting in the water. Characteristic of Impressionism, the brushstrokes are loose and visible, conveying a sense of fleeting light and atmospheric effects. Monet's use of color is vibrant and evocative, with the warm orange and yellow hues of the setting sun contrasting with the cool blues and greens of the sky and water. The scene is simplified, with the focus on capturing the ephemeral beauty of the moment.
