About the piece

Painted in 1864, this early work by Claude Monet depicts the Rue de la Bavole in the coastal town of Honfleur. The composition expertly balances the deep, cool shadows of the foreground buildings against the brilliant midday sun illuminating the cobblestone street and distant facades, showcasing Monet's burgeoning interest in light and atmosphere.
