Monet in Normandy is the first scholarly exhibition to celebrate the intimate relationship between Claude Monet and his native landscape. Although born in Paris, Monet moved with his family to Le Havre, a charming town on the Normandy coast, when he was a small child, thus beginning the artist’s enduring relationship with the region.

Featuring about 50 paintings, exhibition highlights include: The Pointe de la Hève at Low Tide (1865); Garden at Sainte-Adresse (1867); Cliff Walk at Pourville (1882); The Manneporte (Étretat) (1883); and Grainstack in the Sunlight (1891).

Exclusive to the Cleveland Museum of Art’s presentation is CMA’s beloved painting Water Lilies (1920-26), a work that is too fragile to travel.
