About Impressionist Seascapes
The sea gave the Impressionists their name. Claude Monet's "Impression, Sunrise" (1872) shows the harbour of Le Havre in morning haze, and the critic's joke about its title stuck to the whole group. Monet returned to the Normandy coast for works such as "The Cliff Walk at Pourville" (1882). Eugène Boudin, who first encouraged Monet to paint outdoors, filled small canvases with the beaches of Trouville, and Berthe Morisot painted "The Harbour at Lorient" in 1869.
