About the piece

Painted in 1897, this work captures the rugged cliffs and churning sea of the Welsh coast with masterful Impressionist technique. Alfred Sisley uses a sophisticated palette of muted purples, cool blues, and frothy whites to translate the energy of a coastal storm into a dynamic and luminous composition.
