Galerie Mont The customs officials’ cabin in Pourville – Claude Monet^ Monet

This painting depicts a picturesque coastal landscape in Pourville, a charming fishing village in Normandy. In the foreground is the customs hut, a small wooden building typical of the time, surrounded by lush vegetation and cliffs.

The colour palette used by Monet is dominated by shades of green, blue and grey, which blend harmoniously to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The quick and light brushstrokes, characteristic of Impressionism, reflect the movement of the grasses in the sea breeze.

Light plays an essential role in this work, with subtle contrasts between lighted and shadowed areas that reinforce the depth and perspective of the landscape. The presence of the sea in the background, with its changing reflections, adds a poetic dimension to the scene.
