About the piece

Painted in 1883, Claude Monet captures the raw power of the Atlantic at Étretat with his signature broken brushstrokes and luminous palette. The churning white surf dominates the foreground, contrasting with the solid, weathered face of the Normandy cliffs and two small figures witnessing the storm's force from the shoreline.
