Artwork description
Claude Monet · Varengeville · 1882 · W732
A small house with a red roof clings to the edge of a grass-covered cliff, facing a turquoise blue sea. Two chimneys stand out above the roof, while a few white sails punctuate the horizon. Painted in 1882, this oil on canvas measuring 58 × 71.5 cm is kept at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen under number 1544 (MK) and corresponds to Wildenstein 732.

Look at the work
The building is located to the left of the center, set back on a flat area. Vegetation occupies almost the entire lower half and rises on the left edge, while a bay-shaped opening reveals the sea in the center and right.
The roof mixes red, orange, pink and brown, concentrating the warm tones of the composition. Around it, the grasses are built with touches of green, yellow, mauve and blue. The sea changes from turquoise to deep blue, with small light sailboats near the horizon.
The house is not only a picturesque motif: its compact presence gives the scale of the promontory and makes you feel, in contrast, the immense opening of the sea.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The left slope, the house and the rocky point on the right frame a central body of water. These shapes overlap and build depth without rigid geometric lines.
The oranges and reds of the building immediately catch the eye among the greens and blues. This warm accent allows the small architecture to remain readable in very free vegetation.
Monet does not draw each plant. Short superimposed lines suggest the grasses, flowers and irregularities of the terrain, giving the foreground an almost tactile texture.
Reference image
A single exact image of W732 is used throughout the file and as the sole media for the product. The real WebP measures 1,200 × 982 px, converted from the high definition file distributed by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, without artificial enlargement.
It must remain partially surrounded by the embankment and not be enlarged. Its modest scale is essential to the feeling of a vast coastal landscape.
These two dark shapes above the roof make the silhouette immediately identifiable. They punctuate the transition between the building and the sea.
Boats are small white and pink signs on the water. Their finesse enlivens the distance without competing with the house.
Documented benchmarks
The Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen preserves The Fisherman's House, Varengeville, oil on canvas from 1882, 58 × 71.5 cm, inventory 1544 (MK) and Wildenstein 732.
The museum distinguishes this view from several neighboring compositions painted in Pourville. The site is close, but the building and the organization of the promontory identify a precise version.
The Museum Boijmans recalls that Monet painted fourteen versions linked to this motif in the region. W732 can be recognized by the house visible in the cliff and the maritime opening which surrounds it.
The work is numbered 1544 (MK) at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The notice indicates that it is currently in reserves.
