Claude Monet’s six most splendid paintings of sailboats

by Barista Uno | Nov 15, 2021 | Maritime Art, Culture and History

Sailboats held as much as fascination for French Impressionist master Claude Monet as water lilies and haystacks . He made several paintings of them. The following, in my opinion, are his most splendid works on the subject. They spotlight not only the beauty and elegance of sailboats. More importantly, they show Monet’s inimitable handling of colour, light and atmosphere.

“For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life – the air and the light, which vary continuously. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.”

— claude monet, 1891 (as quoted by tate uk ).

A sky exploding with wonderful colours and reflections on the serene waters of the Seine combine to transform an ordinary sailboat into something majestic.

Monet used the same pale palette for the sky, the sailboats and the river, adding tints of red for the houses to break the uniformity. Sky and water are dappled, and the boats are appear bunched together as they move gracefully along the river. All this gives the painting a peculiar kind of vitality and charm.

Le Havre, Fishing Boats Leaving the Port, 1874 Claude Monet (1840–1926) Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

It’s a wet morning, but a crowd has gathered on the waterfront to watch the fishing boats sail out of the harbour to the open sea. The small figures in the foreground make the boats and their proud sails seem like multistoried buildings. This is captivating art with a narrative element.

Monet turned an ordinary day in the life of fishermen into a theatrical scene. The boat in the foreground is like an actor making his stage entrance as the curtain of day is raised. The two boats are rendered in dark brown to provide a contrast to the streaks of white light in the sky.

The Cliffs at Étretat, 1886 Claude Monet (1840–1926) Courtesy of Wikiart: Visual Art Encyclopedia

This painting — one of many done by Monet of the Étretat cliffs — is bursting  with energy. Small patches of green, yellow and brownish orange are skillfully blended to create the impression of a dynamic but not choppy sea. The brightly coloured sky and the flotilla of small fishing boats accentuate the massive, towering cliffs.

Seascape, Storm, 1866 Claude Monet (1840–1926) Courtesy of The Clark, Massachusetts, USA

Seascape, Storm is an early work by Monet that is markedly different in style and technique from his later Impressionist paintings. In lieu of small, swift brushtrokes, the colours are applied solidly with some areas worked with a palette knife. The fishing boat is set against an ominous grey sky, and the sea is mostly a dark green. Just below the horizon line is a long strip of bright green, Monet suggesting perhaps that the storm will blow over, that there is hope.

Morning on the Seine near Giverny

Claude Monet French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 819

Begun in 1896, Monet’s Mornings on the Seine series was not completed until 1897 because of inclement weather. Having patiently scouted out views along the river, Monet then painted the pictures from a boat that he had converted into a floating studio. For an extended period he rose by dawn in order to paint the changing effects of light as the sun came up. He then lined up the canvases on easels in his studio to complete them together as a series. Fifteen were shown at the Galerie Georges Petit in 1898.

Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)

About this artwork

Claude Monet painted the 18 works in his Mornings on the Seine series from a flat-bottomed boat anchored to the riverbank where the Epte River flows into the Seine. There, as the light changed from dawn to day, he worked on one canvas after another. To keep them in order, he numbered them, placed them in grooves built into the boat, and had the gardener whom he enlisted as his assistant hand them to him.

The Seine at Rouen, 1872 - by Claude Monet

The Seine and its surrounding countryside were often painted by Monet throughout his life. He spent much of his life living within close proximity to the river and her tributaries.

In this painting of The Seine at Rouen , Monet has used a wonderful balance of verticals and horizontals. The line of houses and buildings that winds into the distance provides a strong horizontal, enhanced by the expanse of sky reminiscent of Dutch landscapes. Here, Monet was concerned less to have his sailboats stand out sharply against the water's smooth surface, than to fit them into the general structure of verticals and horizontals. Despite the widespread view that the Impressionists and their leader, Monet, gave little thought to the structure of their landscapes, while concentrating on fleeting impressions, The Seine at Rouen is notable for its truly "constructive" composition.

In 1873 Camille Pissarro referred to Monet's art as:

A highly conscious art, based upon observation, and on a completely new feeling; it is poetry through the harmony of pure colors, Monet adores real nature."

Seascape Paintings by Claude Monet – 11 Maritime Masterpieces

Claude Monet, a pioneer of Impressionism, is renowned for his breathtaking seascape paintings that capture the essence of the sea in its various moods and atmospheres. With a masterful use of light, color, and brushstrokes, Monet’s seascapes transport viewers to coastal scenes filled with movement, tranquility, and dynamic beauty. From the shimmering reflections on water to the dramatic interplay of sky and sea, Monet’s seascapes are not just artistic renderings but immersive experiences that evoke a deep connection with nature’s ever-changing elements. In this article, we delve into some of Monet’s most famous seascape paintings, exploring their artistic techniques, themes, and enduring impact on the world of art.

Monet and the Sea

Claude Monet, renowned for his mastery of capturing light and atmosphere, had a profound and evolving relationship with the sea in his artworks. Initially drawn to coastal scenes for their vibrant colors and dynamic play of light, Monet’s early seascapes depict the sea with a sense of awe and wonder. His paintings from the Normandy coast showcase his fascination with the ever-changing nature of the sea, from calm waters reflecting the sky to tumultuous waves crashing against the shore. As Monet’s career progressed, his approach to seascapes became more experimental.

He ventured to different coastal regions, including the rugged cliffs of Étretat and the picturesque harbors of Antibes and Venice. In these works, Monet explored the sea’s textures and the interplay between water, light, and atmosphere with increasing depth and nuance.

One of Monet’s most famous series, the Water Lilies paintings, also reflects his deep connection to water.

Although not depicting the sea directly, these monumental works capture the essence of water’s movement, tranquility, and reflective qualities, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a contemplative experience akin to gazing at the sea’s vastness.

On View - Stent Family Wing, Level 2, Gallery 207

Claude Monet painted this view of the Seine near the town of Argenteuil, northwest of Paris, shortly after his arrival there in 1871—likely from the small boat he had converted into a floating studio. He included the Château Michelet and other recognizable architectural landmarks. The small, delicate brushstrokes identify this work as belonging to the “high” phase of Impressionism. The brilliant colors of Monet’s landscape are mirrored in the water below, resulting in a remarkable symmetry that makes it difficult to distinguish between the reflections and their sources.

Claude Monet: Sailboats on the Seine 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Published with: the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Claude Monet

Customer reviews.

There's never been a puzzle that I've gotten from Pomegranate that wasn't superb. And, I've gotten a whole bunch.

This Monet Sailboats on the Seine is one of my favorite new puzzles. It is a challenge, for sure, but before you know it, you will find yourself lost in the calming shades of blues and greens. Although I’m working this puzzle during summer, I may resort to tackling it during the cold New England winter months to take me back to the sea.

It’s difficult but fun!

Product Description

In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926) was one of a daring group of French painters who turned away from academic tradition and developed a fresh, spontaneous style devoted to the pursuit of light and its fleeting effects on sky, water, and land. Painted in 1874, the year of the group’s first exhibition in Paris, Monet’s Sailboats on the Seine at Petit-Gennevilliers reflects the emergence of the artist’s mature style. His agile brushwork was superbly suited to the evanescent interplay of sunlight and water. The group—whose “Impressionists” moniker was inspired by critical attention directed at another of Monet’s paintings, Impressionism: Sunrise—deftly captured scenes of everyday life in flickering brushstrokes, bold colors, and soft atmospheric effects. Water and the reflections of landscapes would become an obsession for Monet, and Édouard Manet, one of his contemporaries, would speak admiringly of him as “the Raphael of water.” Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, our interlocking jigsaw puzzles combine superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzleworkers.
