Turquoise water churns in a rocky cove beneath purple cliffs

Purple-and-maroon rock cliffs patched with green moss frame a bright turquoise-green sea in a narrow cove, its surface broken by white-capped waves. Rocky outcrops fill both lower corners of the canvas, and a low headland with a strip of pale sky and soft clouds closes the view beyond the water. The artist's signature is worked into the rock face at the lower right.

Claude Monet (1840–1926) gave Impressionism its name and its longest career. From the 1870s he painted outdoors in the Seine valley and on the Normandy coast, pursuing the changing light of a single motif in series — haystacks, poplars, Rouen Cathedral, the Thames — and from 1890 the garden he built at Giverny, whose water lilies occupied his last twenty-five years. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Marmottan Monet, the National Gallery in London and the Art Institute of Chicago.
