"Étretat, le Cap d'Antifer" is an oil painting by the renowned French Impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet, created in 1885. This work is part of a series of paintings in which Monet captured the dramatic cliffs and natural arches of the Normandy coast, particularly around the small fishing village of Étretat. The painting depicts the Cap d'Antifer, a less frequently represented area compared to the more famous cliffs such as the Porte d'Aval or the Manneporte.

Monet's fascination with the Normandy coastline stemmed from his interest in capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere on the natural landscape. In "Étretat, le Cap d'Antifer," Monet explores the interplay of light and shadow on the rugged cliff faces, the dynamic movement of the sea, and the expansive sky. The brushwork is loose and expressive, characteristic of Monet's mature style, which seeks to convey the impression of a moment as perceived by the human eye rather than a detailed, static representation.

The painting is a testament to Monet's dedication to plein air painting, a practice of painting outdoors that was central to the Impressionist movement. By working outside, Monet was able to directly observe and record the changing conditions of the natural environment. "Étretat, le Cap d'Antifer" captures a specific atmospheric condition and quality of light, reflecting Monet's ongoing interest in the effects of weather and time of day on the landscape.

As with many of Monet's seascapes, this painting is not only a study of nature but also a reflection on the power and permanence of the geological formations contrasted with the fleeting nature of human perception. The work is emblematic of Monet's enduring legacy as a master of landscape painting and his profound influence on the development of modern art.

"Étretat, le Cap d'Antifer" is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, contributing to the public's understanding and appreciation of Monet's work and the Impressionist movement as a whole. The painting continues to be a subject of study for art historians and scholars, as well as a beloved piece for admirers of Monet's art around the world.
