One of Monet's best works was [Three Fishing Boats]. This painting technique was probably inspired by the time he spent on the Normandy Coast. One of his favorite spots here was Etretat, a fishing village located close to Le Havre. He fell in love with the spectacular landscape of the area the very first time he set foot.
Three Fishing Boats depicts the port of Le Havre on an overcast morning with three boats on their way out to the sea. The boats have the required fishing gear, meaning that everything is ready to commence fishing. The painting showcases what actually happens every morning in Etretat and many other fishing villages around the world. (© MonetPaintings.org 2020; excerpt from MonetPaintings.org)
