About this work

Artist: Claude Monet (1840–1926)
Year: 1882
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 66.5 × 82.3 cm
Collection: Art Institute of Chicago
Movement: Impressionism

Two women in summer dresses stand on a grassy clifftop above the Channel at Pourville, a fishing village near Dieppe, with sailboats on the horizon and wind in everything. Monet went to the Normandy coast in February 1882 and stayed until mid-April, returning in June; it was partly an escape. His wife Camille had died three years earlier, he was now living with Alice Hoschedé and her children, and a long recession had hurt his sales. The figures may be two of Alice's daughters, Marthe and Blanche. The painting sets the leisure of the visitors against the working boats below, and the brushwork, flicked and dragged across the grass and water, gives the scene its blustery energy. It is signed and dated 1882 and belongs to the Art Institute of Chicago's Lewis Larned Coburn Memorial Collection.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Cliff Walk at Pourville in the public domain?

Yes. Claude Monet (1840–1926) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Art Institute of Chicago.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Cliff Walk at Pourville painted, and in what medium?

Cliff Walk at Pourville dates from 1882 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 66.5 × 82.3 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
