Oscar Claude Monet – perhaps the most famous French painter, who left behind a huge artistic legacy, which is admired by many lovers of pictorial art in the whole world. One of his most unusual and controversial works is the painting Morning by the Sea, which he painted in 1881.
A great lover of nature, Claude Monet paid great attention in his works to the image of water. This picture differs from the others in a rather gloomy color: for writing a moving sea and impending huge coastal rocks, the artist used gray, blue, green, dark brown and even black tones. A completely turbulent sea throws large frothy waves onto the sandy shore, and the coastal cliffs, like huge, impregnable walls, surround and protect the endless sea.
The sea occupies the entire right side of the picture. The limitless expanse of the sea, depicted by Claude Monet, personifies infinite freedom. When depicting the sky, the artist used the transition from yellow to blue; by these, apparently, he wanted to show the change of weather. And in fact, from the picture blows cold and excitement, even fear, it is not at all positive, written in cold, hard colors.
It can be seen that very soon it will start to rain, or even a storm. High waves will rise, which in a frenzy will rush to the high cliffs. Any picture is a reflection of the artist’s state, apparently, Claude Monet splashed out on the canvas “Morning by the Sea” not his most positive emotions.
