A dark rock arch juts into a turquoise sea

A massive dark grey-green rock cliff, pierced by a natural arch, juts out into a bright turquoise sea streaked with whitecaps. Wildflowers and grass in yellow and rust dot the sandy, grass-topped cliff in the foreground. A pale blue sky scattered with soft white and pink-tinged clouds stretches overhead. Signed and dated lower left.

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.
