View Of The Seacoast Near Wargemont In Normandy

While a guest at the country house of Paul Berard, Renoir was captivated by the seaside views. This area of the Normandy coast, notable for its steep cliffs and weather-swept panoramas, also attracted Monet during the early 1880s. Renoir painted this scene out-of-doors, working quickly to capture the landscape's salient features before the lighting conditions changed.
