The story behind the motif
Poster with the painting Cliff walk at Pourville created in 1882 by Claude Monet. In the picture we see a verdant hill and an open sea, a beautiful summer day on the west coast of France.
In February 1882, Claude Monet went to Normandy to paint, one of many such expeditions he made in the 1880s. This was also a retreat from personal and professional pressures. His wife, Camille, had died three years earlier, and Monet had entered into a domestic agreement with Alice Hoschedé.
Monet settled in Pourville and stayed in this fishing village until mid-April. He became increasingly fond of his surroundings and wrote to Hoschedé and her children: "How beautiful the countryside is becoming, and what a joy it would be for me to show you all its delightful nooks and crannies!". In June of the same year, Monet was able to show them Pourville . The two young women walking in this painting are probably Marthe and Blanche, the eldest Hoschedé daughters.
Artist: Claude Monet | Created: 1882.
