Claude Monet · Étretat · November 1885 · W1025

The Departure of the Boats, Étretat W1025hand painted reproduction

From a window of the Blanquet hotel, Monet looks at Étretat beach in the rain: the black caloges in the foreground, the fishermen gathered at the water's edge and the sailboats already gone organize a bird's eye view of astonishing activity. Painted in 1885, this 73.5 × 93.5 cm oil on canvas is kept at the Art Institute of Chicago under number 1922.428 and corresponds to Wildenstein 1025.

Look at the work

The departure is told between the black hangars, the crowds on the shore and the sails on the sea

Four large dark shapes occupy the bottom of the canvas: boats removed from service, covered with tarmac boards and used as storage shelters. Their triangular volumes and their vanishing lines lead the gaze to the groups of fishermen massed on the pebbles.

Beyond this land area, the sea suddenly opens turquoise green. Red, brown and purple sails run up to the horizon; on the right, a light house and its green shutter close the composition like the edge of a window.

Monet transforms a work scene observed from his room into spectacular depth: the gaze descends towards the beach, crosses the crowd then joins the boats which reach the open sea.

Composition, touch and light

What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot

Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

01

A dive imposed by bad weather

The Art Institute reports that Monet painted this canvas from his room at the Blanquet Hotel on a rainy day in November 1885. The high view explains the stacking of plans and the low space given to the sky.

02

Caloges as the framework of the foreground

Covered shells are not just picturesque accessories. Their dark walls, their oblique edges and the boards placed between them construct the entire geometric base of the image.

03

A clear sea animated by sails

The bright greens of the water contrast with the browns of the beach. The boats become colorful accents of decreasing sizes, making both their movement and distance felt.

Reference image

Read this specific version

The only image is the Art Institute of Chicago CC0 reference file, kept at 3000 × 2380 px and then encoded as a real WebP. It shows exactly version 1922.428, without artificial enlargement.

Composition01

Maintain high angle view and overlaps

The caloges must remain large and partially cut by the edges. Reducing them to better show the beach would weaken W1025's singular point of view.

Color02

Preserve the turquoise and brown contrast

Light does not come from a visible sky but from the sea and wet surfaces. The bluish greens must therefore remain light compared to the browns, blacks and mauves in the foreground.

Matter03

Keep characters as brief touches

The crowd is readable without individualized portraits. A few verticals, hats and colors are enough to evoke the activity; too precise a drawing would freeze the scene.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

The Art Institute of Chicago documents The Departure of the Boats, Étretat, oil on canvas from 1885, 73.5 × 93.5 cm, inventory 1922.428 and catalog Wildenstein 1025.

Testimony01

A letter from Monet dated November 24, 1885

The painter explains to Alice Hoschedé that after working on the caloges in the rain, he tried from his room to paint the boats leaving.

Pair02

A composition linked to Boats on the beach in Étretat

The two paintings share the same observation post, a palette of blues, pinks, purples and greens, as well as the same soggy surfaces observed from the hotel.

Collection03

A work acquired by Potter Palmer in 1892

Durand-Ruel bought the painting from Monet then sold it the same day to the Chicago collector. The Palmer family donated it to the Art Institute in 1922.

Your reproduction

What the painter must preserve

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.
