Description
This scene captures a panoramic view overlooking a vast body of water. The undulating water occupies a large portion of the image shimmering with tones of blues, greys and whites, reflecting the sky above.
A steep rocky cliff plunges into the sea to the right, the left features shrubs with warm hues against the coolness of the sea.
Monet has captured the ever changing light effects and his use of colour portrays the movement of the water.
A testament to the mastery of the impressionist movement in conveying the beauty of the natural landscape.
