Low Tide at Pourville by Monet

Monet had spent the previous summer in Fécamp and returned to the Normandy coast in February 1882, settling at Pourville with Alice Hoschedé and the children. He painted dozens of canvases there in fifteen weeks, sometimes hauling his easel over the cliffs at dawn to catch a single tide. This is one of the calmer pictures from that run, soft sun and barely any wind.

Our impressionist canvas print preserves the high-pitched blue of the sky, the milky pink chalk of the cliff, the band of green pasture along its top and the long horizontal strokes of broken light running across the wet sand. The original is a New York private collection picture, occasionally lent for the big Monet Normandy shows.

This Monet inspired wall art reads beautifully in coastal Perth interiors painted in chalk white, mushroom or warm linen; the cliffs and water echo straight back from limewash, rattan and pale timber. Hang above a console, behind a cane bed or in a tiled bathroom for a calm horizon.

Choose stretched canvas, slim black framed print or a white timber float frame. Each impressionist art reproduction is hand-finished in our Perth workshop and shipped Australia-wide on rigid backing.
