From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
Gustave Caillebotte painted this dramatic view of the blue-green sea, illuminated by a cloud-dappled sky, from one of the cliffs of Trouville, a popular resort town on the Normandy coast in northern France. The brick villas in the foreground, just outside the center of the town, offered homeowners a private shoreline retreat. During the early 1880s, Caillebotte spent several summers on the Normandy coast where he painted, participated in sailing regattas, and visited friends. In addition to his career as an artist, Caillebotte was an award-winning sailor and designed his own racing sailboats.
