🖼 Edge of the Cliff at Pourville, 1882
Oil on canvas
60.5 × 81.5 cm

Soft brushwork captures cliffside cliffs bathed in diffused light, where sea meets land in hazy atmospheric layers. Monet's serial approach to landscape reveals changing light conditions at Pourville, pioneering the Impressionist study of fleeting natural effects.
