Normandy Cliffs

From the Vintage Collection

Tones:Cool Gray, Rust, White, Pale Blue-Green

Why We Love It:This plein air painting from Danish-French artist Camille Pissarro depicts the cliffs at Les Petit-Dalles, then a fashionable seaside resort outside Normandy in France. This particular seascape feels like it could be taken straight from an episode of Poldark.

From The Artist: Called the dean of the Impressionist painters, Camille Pissarro was a landscape artist best known for his outsized influence on Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting. He was considered a father figure to several Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists including Czanne, Seurat, Cassat, Gauguin and van Gogh.
