Summary

Description
English: When he arrived at Belle-Île-en-Mer, Monet was initially unsettled by his first experience of the Atlantic Ocean. 'It is wonderful, but as it is so different from the Channel, I shall have to become acquainted with this form of nature… I will need some time to know how to approach it all.' So the painter executed numerous studies which convey his wonder at the sea and fabulous rocks on this coastline, among them the twisted formations rising up from the water at Port-Coton. He represents the same subjects repeatedly, observing them from various positions and in different types of weather. These works mark an important stage in Monet's output, showing him to be a painter whose approach to his subject was deliberate and systematic.
