MONET, Claude: The Green Wave

🖼 The Green Wave, 1866-1867
Oil on canvas
New York, USA

Emerald water surges dramatically across the canvas, its translucent crest backlit with luminous detail and delicate brushwork. Monet captures the Japanese print aesthetic while pioneering Impressionist seascapes that prioritize light and momentary perception over literal representation.
