MONET, Claude: Cliffs near Dieppe

🖼 Cliffs near Dieppe, 1882
Oil on canvas
65 × 81 cm
Kunsthaus
Zurich, Switzerland

Soft brushwork captures towering chalk cliffs bathed in diffused light, their pale faces rising dramatically from shadowed shores. Monet's serial study of the same motif under changing atmospheric conditions pioneered modern landscape painting's investigation of perception and light.
