"Clifftop Walk at Pourville"

Claude Monet (i) - 67 x 82 cm - 1882 - (Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, United States)) (i) - Impressionism (i)
Claude Monet 's Clifftop Walk at Pourville , painted in 1882, is a breathtaking example of Impressionist art. This beautiful landscape portrait, one of the rare paintings that include human beings, resides at the Art Institute of Chicago . The painting measures 67 x 82 cm and is characterized by its serene and peaceful atmosphere.
The Inspiration Behind the Painting
Monet's stay in Pourville was a significant influence on this piece. He moved to the fishing village alone, seeking solace from personal and professional pressures. His wife, Camille, had passed away three years earlier, and he had recently become involved with Alice Hoschedé. The economic recession in France also affected his sales, leading him to seek refuge in the countryside.
Composition and Technique
The composition of Clifftop Walk at Pourville is a testament to Monet's skillful use of brushstrokes and colors. The painting captures the essence of reality happening at a precise moment, emphasizing the movement of air and sea. The short, crisp strokes used to paint the grasses of the cliff, the girls' drapery, and the distant sea create a sense of movement suggested by painterly calligraphy.
Figures in the Painting
The two young girls standing atop the cliff are believed to be Alice Hoschedé's daughters, Marthe and Blanche. The figures are unified through brushwork, with short strokes used to paint their drapery. An X-ray of the painting reveals that Monet originally painted a third figure into the grouping, which he later removed.
Artistic Influences
Monet's technique in Clifftop Walk at Pourville reflects his influences from other artists. The composition and elements in this piece relate back to Monet’s influences, the artists he admired and learned from. His intense study of nature and practice of painting by open-air produced the most dramatic effect for his landscape portraiture.
Conclusion
Clifftop Walk at Pourville is a captivating example of Monet's Impressionist style, showcasing the beauty of nature and the simple pleasure of watching boats sail on the ocean. The painting's serene atmosphere and skillful use of brushstrokes make it a masterpiece of landscape portraiture.
