Description
Renoir looks down a grassy valley toward the Normandy coast, where a cluster of thatched and slate-roofed cottages nestles among trees before the land drops away to a wide, calm sea. A few small sailboats, one with a bright red sail, dot the pale blue water beneath a soft, hazy sky.
The foreground is a patchwork of warm tans, greens and touches of red wildflowers, painted with broad, textured strokes that suggest a coastal path or cut field. Further back, the color cools into blue-green sea and pale sky, Renoir keeping the whole scene remarkably calm and airy, more attentive to open space and light than to incident.
This quiet coastal view brings the openness of the Normandy shoreline into a home or office wall. This View of the Seacoast near Wargemont in Normandy composition is offered as a museum-quality canvas print, made to order in a range of sizes and shipped worldwide.
