Manne-Porte, Étretat  1885

Monet was impressed by the grandeur of the massive cleft cliff at Étretat, a natural monument along the Normandy coast. He emphasized its awesome isolation by painting the great vertical faces of the receding cliffs set against a sea that merges imperceptibly into the sky.
