Description: | Signed: yes Description: Vollon was one of the most successful painters of his generation, and became very famous for painting still lives. He stayed in Etretat in 1879, and this is one of many views he painted of this part of the coastline. In this painting, Vollon depicts the sheer cliffs on the side of a bay near Etretat. The tide is in, and two figures are paddling, under an extensive sky. In 1869, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet also decided to depict the coast near Etretat, evidently a very popular spot for French landscape painters. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Etretat) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vollon, Antoine (French painter, printmaker, 1833-1900) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8436... | Go to resource |
