Description

At Étretat the fishermen launched their boats straight from the shingle into the Channel swell, and Monet painted that daily departure in 1885. Hulls slide toward the water, figures lean into their work, and the sea rolls in cool, silvery waves beneath a soft northern sky. The handling is vigorous and economical, every stroke serving the movement of boats, people and tide along this dramatic Normandy shore.

Our version is hand-painted in oils to order by a trained studio artist, worked on artist-grade cotton canvas to echo Monet’s energetic brushwork and restrained coastal palette. Select your size and framing on this page. Each commission is created just for you and ships free worldwide.

The craft

The oil edition of this Monet artwork is painted by hand on canvas. A canvas art print reproduces the image in ink, with the brushmarks visible in the picture rather than raised paint.

  • Oil editions painted individually by studio artists
  • Canvas prints reproduce the image on canvas
  • Individually quality-inspected before it leaves the studio
  • Made to order in your chosen size and presentation

Materials & Care

Materials

The oil reproduction is painted on cotton canvas; the art print is printed on canvas. Rolled canvas arrives without a stretcher. Stretched canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher frame; thin and thick frames are separate presentation choices.

On request, the studio provides a certificate for your hand-painted reproduction; it certifies the studio's work, not an original by the artist.

Care

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid cleaning products, prolonged direct sunlight and damp conditions.

Sizing

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Departure of the Boats, Étretat a hand-painted oil painting or a print?

Both are offered. The primary edition of The Departure of the Boats, Étretat is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed in real oils on artist-grade cotton canvas by a senior studio painter, so the brushwork and impasto are physically raised on the surface. A lower-priced archival canvas print of the same image is also available. You choose which on this page.

When did Claude Monet paint The Departure of the Boats, Étretat?

The Departure of the Boats, Étretat dates from 1885. Monet (1840 to 1926) was a founder of Impressionism, working outdoors to capture changing light, and the original is oil on canvas.

Where is the original The Departure of the Boats, Étretat today?

The original is held by the Art Institute of Chicago. Monet died in 1926, so the work is in the public domain; our reproduction is painted from a documented public-domain image of it, and every piece ships with a certificate of authenticity describing it as a reproduction. View this painting at the Art Institute of Chicago.

What sizes can I order The Departure of the Boats, Étretat in?

There are 9 sizes offered for this work, from 30 × 38 cm · 12 × 15 in up to 73.5 × 93.5 cm · 28.9 × 36.8 in. Each size keeps the original painting's proportions, so nothing is cropped or stretched, and the largest size offered is limited by the resolution of the source image.

How is The Departure of the Boats, Étretat framed and delivered?

Choose rolled canvas, stretched on a wooden frame, or a thin or thick frame in your chosen finish. Every piece is made to order, hand inspected before it leaves the studio, and shipped free worldwide with a 30-day return guarantee.

Where does The Departure of the Boats, Étretat look best in a room?

It belongs to our The Normandy Coast collection. Works in this group suit a living room, bedroom, hallway or study, and Monet's light-filled palette sits especially well on a wall that gets natural daylight. Size it so the painting reads as the focal point of the wall rather than competing with the furniture below it.
