Story
A pair of figures holding parasols stand atop a cliff thick with wildflowers, gazing out over a turquoise sea where small sailboats drift beneath an open blue sky. The scene appears calm and sunlit, giving a sense of fresh air along the coast. This piece, titled Cliff Walk at Pourville, was created in 1882 by Claude Monet, rendered in oil on canvas, and is held at the Art Institute of Chicago. Monet, born in 1840 and died in 1926, was a French painter associated with Impressionism, and he also created Impression, Sunrise. One detail worth noticing is how the sailboats appear as small, scattered marks against the wide expanse of turquoise water, drawing the eye toward the horizon beyond the clifftop figures.
