MONET, Claude: Beach at Sainte-Adresse

🖼 Beach at Sainte-Adresse, 1867
Oil on canvas
76 × 102 cm
Chicago, USA

Brilliant sunlight bathes a seaside promenade where figures stroll beneath fluttering flags, rendered in loose brushwork that captures shimmering air and water. Monet's early marine scene exemplifies Impressionism's revolutionary approach to light, color, and momentary perception over realistic detail.
