Story
A jagged cliff edge juts into view above the water, its rocky face rendered in muted earth tones that give way to the open blue of the Mediterranean Sea. Beyond, a distant shoreline curves along the horizon beneath a sky filled with soft clouds. The painting, titled The Mediterranean (Cap d'Antibes), was made in 1888 using oil, and it is held at the Columbus Museum of Art, having entered the collection through the bequest of Frederick W. Schumacher. Claude Monet, born in 1840 and died in 1926, worked within the Impressionism movement and is also known for his painting Impression, Sunrise. One detail worth noticing is the contrast between the rugged, textured stone of the cliff and the smoother expanse of blue sea stretching toward the hazy outline of the far coast, giving the scene a quiet sense of depth and distance.
