Impressionism is famous for its capture of the light at the moment, as the fragmented strokes and variety of colors used on the canvas, aim to create the blur effect and dream feeling. In this painting, The Rocks at Pourville, Low Tide, 1882 , drawn by Claude Monet, we can see this image presents a seascape that captures the beauty of nature, showing the interaction and intersection of land and sea in tranquility and dynamics, centered on the interaction between jagged coastal rocks and the turbulent sea, with the angular irregularity of the rocks in the foreground emphasizing the cragginess of the shoreline, contrasting with the dark colors and white foam of the broken waves.
This work was nowdays collected at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester,NY, as the gift of Emily Sibley Watson.
