Beschreibung
Capturing the natural beauty of coastal landscapes and the delicate play of light on water, this volume celebrates impressionist depictions of nautical and beachside life.

The impressionists were forever inspired by the sea, which Claude Monet considered "a wonderful teacher for landscape artists." The movement's penchant for plein air painting and its characteristic style, with delicate brushstrokes and incomparable color palettes, was perfectly suited to portrayals of the sea and its perpetual movement, from gently rippling waves to raging storms. Normandy was the birthplace of impressionism and home to many painters who never tired of depicting the light-dappled sea, pebbled beaches, bathers, ships, and changing skies of the Norman coast.

Through the works of Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Courbet, Paul Gauguin, Eugène Boudin, Johan Barthold Jongkind, and more, this volume takes readers on a journey along coastlines and beaches-from the Riviera to Tahiti-to discover all aspects of seaside life in the nineteenth century.

Portraits of children playing in the sand or strolling vacationers at seaside resorts contrast with scenes of the maritime industry, which depict the hustle and bustle of ports with their dockers, the to-and-fro of passing ships, and fishermen at work in boats. Atmospheric marine landscapes abound, from rugged cliffs and jagged rocks emerging from the waves to serene sunsets or sunrises along the horizon.

Published to accompany the exhibition Impressionism and the Sea at the Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny (March 22-June 22, 2024), this volume includes 110 paintings and drawings, presented alongside photographs by masters such as Gustave Le Gray, which transport readers to the very coastlines interpreted by the impressionists.
