The story

Monet went to Belle-Île in September 1886 and stayed until late November.

The Atlantic in November doesn't give you golden hour. It gives you rage.

He stayed 74 days.

Was he waiting for the storm to stop? Or was he waiting for it to get worse?

Because the paintings that came out of Belle-Île don't look like a man who got lucky with the weather. They look like a man who needed that water to be furious.
