The story

Monet had fled Poissy and spent the summer of 1882 in Pourville, a part of Normandy coast he discovered and loved. No more urban cacophony, all problems left behind. Only dramatic landscapes, towering chalk cliffs and the rough sea. And freedom. This is the summer where he went from trying impressionism to impressionism at full sails. Traditional realism clearly left behind.
