About the piece

Painted in 1871, Jean-François Millet’s 'The Cliffs of Gréville' showcases the artist’s mastery of light and atmosphere. The work depicts the craggy coastline of his native Normandy, where the earthy tones of the cliffs contrast beautifully with the shimmering turquoise waters and a sky filled with soft, pastel-hued clouds.
