In the oil painting titled "Cliffs at Etretat," Monet captures the fleeting beauty of nature with his unique Impressionist technique. The cliffs in the painting appear particularly spectacular against the backdrop of the blue sky, while the glimmers on the sea and the small boats by the shore add liveliness to the scene. Monet's brush strokes are free and uninhibited, with a rich and delicate use of color that showcases the endless charm of light and shadow variation. This work is not only a true depiction of the natural landscape but also reflects the artist's challenge to and innovative spirit regarding the artistic conventions of his time.
