About the piece
Painted in 1864, this early Impressionist work by Claude Monet depicts the coast of Sainte-Adresse near Le Havre. The composition balances the solid, grassy cliffs with the dynamic, light-flecked waves and a sweeping, overcast sky, showcasing Monet's burgeoning interest in capturing fleeting atmospheric effects.
