View of the Seacoast near Wargemont in Normandy, 1880
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

While a guest at the country house of Paul Berard, Renoir was captivated by the seaside views.
This area of the Normandy coast, notable for its steep cliffs and weather-swept panoramas, also attracted Monet during the early 1880s.
Renoir painted this scene out-of-doors, working quickly to capture the landscape''''''''s salient features before the lighting conditions changed.
