"Shadows on the Sea. The Cliffs at Pourville," Claude Monet, 1882.

Y'all know Monet.

Here we see his Impressionist technique at its prime. Areas of light and shadow are illustrated with mere dots and dashes that come together to form the coherent whole...something like a TV screen. It's also a great evocation of those moments when a breeze ripples the sea, making it a surface of a million little mirrors.

It's also a great image for this time of year, as we start looking forward to summer vacations. Here Monet does an excellent job of depicting a hot summer day on the seashore.
