Description
Originally painted in 1882, Cliff at Dieppe by Claude Monet is similar to many Monet works in that it is an explicit exploration in composition, symmetry and color. However, in Cliff at Dieppe, the artist opts for stronger lines – less common in Monet’s Impressionism – to create height and depth between the cliff and the beach. Reflective light on water is a highly favored practice mastered by Monet and is evident in the luminosity of the sea. During the summer months, Monet regularly traveled from Pourville to Dieppe, along the Normandy coast. Unlike many of his most famous works, Cliff at Dieppe pays special attention to the buildings in the scene, and a red tiled roof on an old stone villa brings exceptional contrast to the dramatic natural landscape. overstockArt offers this Cliff at Dieppe reproduction with a wide variety of museum-quality framing options available. It has been meticulously reproduced line by line, brushstroke by brushstroke, to celebrate Monet’s original work.
