About ‘La Pointe de la Hève at Low Tide, Claude Monet’
La Pointe de la Hève at Low Tide, Claude Monet (1865)
This beautiful beach scene near Le Havre, where the artist grew up, was one of two landscapes that launched Monet’s career when exhibited in 1865 at the Paris Salon, the vast, well-attended survey of contemporary art sponsored by the French government. At the Salon, some viewers confused Monet’s signature with that of the controversial Édouard Manet. When the older artist received compliments for a painting that he had not painted, he sought out Monet, initiating one of the richest dialogues ever between great painters.La Pointe de la Hève at Low Tide, Claude Monet (1865)
