Regattas at Saint Adresse, painting by Claude Monet

PAY IN THREE INSTALLMENTS WITH PAYPAL

Claude Monet's 1867 painting "Regattas at Sainte-Adresse" offers an interesting insight into the artist's early years and his exploration of landscape. Painted during a summer stay at Sainte-Adresse, a seaside resort near Le Havre, the painting captures a moment of leisure along the Normandy coast.

In this work, Monet focuses on the representation of sailing boats participating in a regatta. The composition is structured with a clear division between the sky, the sea and the shore, which contribute to creating a sense of depth. The boats are depicted with brushstrokes that suggest the movement and energy of the wind on the sails. One can notice a certain attention to detail of the boats, while maintaining a freshness in the execution that anticipates his future impressionist practice.

The human figures on the shore and on the boats are rendered in a synthetic, almost sketchy way, and serve mainly to give scale and life to the scene, rather than being the main subject. Monet's interest, in fact, is directed to light and atmosphere.
