About the piece

Painted in 1883, this work by Claude Monet captures the dramatic rock formations at Étretat on the Normandy coast. Using a characteristically vibrant Impressionist palette, Monet depicts the limestone arch and needle-like cliff (the Porte d'Aval) as they catch the warm, atmospheric glow of a setting sun.
