The white chalk cliffs rise above the sea. The Porte dâAval stands in the distance. Morning light falls softly across the landscape.
This is Ătretat, in Normandy, a place Claude Monet returned to again and again.
But why would a painter keep painting the same cliffs?
In this episode, we discover that Monet was not simply looking at the rock. He was watching the light change it.
Morning, midday, clouds, mist. The place stayed the same, but the painting never had to.
Come with me to Ătretat and discover how Monet learned to look at a familiar landscape differently, and how you can use simple French to talk about what you see and feel in front of a painting.
