Description
In 1882 Claude Monet painted Church at Varengeville, Morning. This dramatic landscape shows a tiny house overlooking a steep cliff by the sea. The use of perspective is rare for this artist, who prefers to use light for emphasis, but he does it with such great technique. The church becomes the subject and we feel how isolated it is on the edge of the drop off. He still gives us warm vibrant colors in the rocks, like green and orange, contrasting with the blue of the sky in the background. It creates a scene that almost overwhelms the audience.
