Painted by Impressionist master Claude Monet in 1867, Garden at Sainte-Adresse captures a picturesque scene from a summer spent in the seaside resort town on the English Channel, near Le Havre (France). In a nod to Japanese prints, Monet paints the terrace, sea, and sky as three distinct bands of bright color from an elevated viewpoint, thus emphasizing the painting’s two-dimensionality.
