About the Artwork

Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe, 1882, 1882. Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926).
Oil on fabric; 59.9 x 81.3 cm. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Mrs. Henry White Cannon, 1947.196.

This is one of several views Claude Monet painted of Pourville, a fishing village on the north coast of France in Normandy. Pourville featured a boardwalk, a broad beach, and stunning cliffs. According to the artist's correspondence, the village was nothing special, but he was inspired by the landscape: "One could not be any closer to the sea than I am, on the pebbled beach itself and the waves beat at the foot of the house." During the spring of 1882 in Pourville, Monet stayed in a small hotel similar to the dwellings seen at the foot of the cliff to the right in this painting.
