Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe, 1882, 1882. Creator: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926)
Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe, 1882, 1882. This is one of several views Monet painted of the cliffs and sand flats of Pourville, a small fishing village on the Normandy coast of France. The title indicates a momentary stage in the continuous cycle of nature, just as the quick, spontaneous application of paint reflects Monets efforts to capture shifting effects of light, weather, and tide. The paint layers under the beach indicate that this part of the composition originally depicted water, as would have been appropriate for a depiction of high rather than low tide. Similar changes were made in the clouds during the painting process

Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe, 1882
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of nature's ever-changing beauty. Created by the renowned French artist Claude Monet in 1882, this painting transports us to the cliffs and sand flats of Pourville, a quaint fishing village on the Normandy coast. Monet's title suggests that this artwork captures just one fleeting moment in the continuous cycle of nature. With his signature quick and spontaneous brushstrokes, he skillfully portrays the shifting effects of light, weather, and tide. The layers of paint beneath the sandy beach reveal that originally this composition depicted water - a reflection of high tide rather than low tide. As an Impressionist painter, Monet sought to capture not only what he saw but also how it made him feel. In "Low Tide at Pourville" we can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against the shore and feel a sense of tranquility as we gaze upon this serene scene. This post-Impressionist masterpiece showcases Monet's mastery over oil on canvas technique while highlighting his ability to evoke emotion through art. It now resides within The Cleveland Museum of Art where visitors can appreciate its timeless beauty firsthand. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come so that we may continue to be captivated by Monet's artistic vision and immerse ourselves in the enchanting world he created with each brushstroke.
