CLAUDE MONET. Regatta at Sainte-Adresse

Regatta at Sainte-Adresse. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 29 5/8 x 40 in. (75.2 x 101.6 cm). Date: 1867.

Monet spent the summer of 1867 at Sainte-Adresse, a well-to-do suburb of Le Havre on the Normandy coast. On June 25, he reported that he had about twenty pictures under way, noting, "Among the seascapes, I am doing the regattas of Le Havre with many figures on the beach and the outer harbor covered with small sails." This sunny regatta, watched at high tide by well-dressed bourgeois, seems to have been conceived as a pair with <i>The Beach at Sainte-Adresse</i> (Art Institute of Chicago), an overcast scene at low tide, showing fishing boats hauled onto the beach, peopled with sailors and workers.
