"The Cliffs of Gréville" (French: "Les Falaises de Gréville") is a notable landscape painting by the French artist Jean-François Millet, created in 1871. As a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, Millet is best known for his depictions of peasant farmers and rural landscapes. This particular work, however, diverges from his typical subject matter of agricultural scenes and instead captures the rugged coastal landscape of Gréville, the village in Normandy where Millet was born.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic portrayal of the cliffs, with an emphasis on the play of light and shadow, which imparts a sense of grandeur and timelessness to the natural features. Millet's use of earthy tones and a restrained palette reflects the somber mood often found in his works, while the brushwork conveys the texture and roughness of the rocky outcrops. The Cliffs of Gréville is significant as it showcases Millet's deep connection to his homeland and his ability to evoke emotion through landscape, a subject to which he turned more frequently towards the end of his career.

"The Cliffs of Gréville" is not only a testament to Millet's skill as a landscape painter but also provides insight into the broader artistic movements of the 19th century, including the transition from Romanticism to Realism and the burgeoning interest in naturalism. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of the Barbizon school's impact on landscape painting and its influence on subsequent generations of artists, including the Impressionists who sought to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

As an artwork that captures the essence of the Normandy coast, "The Cliffs of Gréville" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Jean-François Millet and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
