Story
Wooden poles rise from a churning sea, strung with fishing nets, while rocks break the water in the foreground. The scene is rendered in cool tones of blue, grey, and white beneath a clouded sky, capturing the restless motion of waves against the shore. This oil painting, titled Fishing nets at Pourville, was created in 1882 by Claude Monet and is held at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Monet, a French painter who lived from 1840 to 1926, worked within Impressionism and also created Impression, Sunrise. One detail worth noticing is how the poles seem to lean against the pull of the tide, their nets catching light even as the surrounding water churns with grey and white brushwork.
