Product description
Millennia of Atlantic tides sculpted the massive limestone arches that dominate the Normandy coast, a geological drama captured here in this print. Monet’s 1885 composition focuses on the Needle and the Manneporte, rendered with dappled brushstrokes in shades of sandstone, cerulean, and soft lavender.
About Claude Monet
Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a founder of French Impressionism; the movement takes its name from his painting Impression, Sunrise. Monet’s broken brushwork reads as soft colour from across a room and as lively texture up close. The Impressionists held their first independent exhibition in Paris in 1874. The original image dates from 1885.
Styling this Claude Monet print
With its blue and purple palette and calming atmosphere, this Claude Monet print brings instant personality to a wall. As a landscape piece, “The Cliffs at Etretat” fills the space above the bed at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a bedroom. Finish “The Cliffs at Etretat” with a black or antique-gold frame: its blue and purple palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
