Impressionism and the Sea

Capturing the natural beauty of coastal landscapes and the delicate play of light on water, this volume illuminates the works of Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Gustave Courbet, Paul Gauguin, Eugène Boudin, Johan Barthold Jongkind, and more, taking readers on a journey along shorelines and beaches—from the coasts of Normandy and Brittany, to the Mediterranean Sea, to Tahiti—to discover all aspects of nautical and seaside life in the nineteenth century.
