"In the fall of 1883, Renoir spent a month on Guernsey, an island off the coast of Normandy. This vibrant work depicts one of the island’s most picturesque locations. The path along the bottom of the painting shows the route taken by visitors to admire the bay’s rocky coastline. Renoir’s energetic brushstrokes record the foliage, water, and clouds, all animated by a fresh breeze and brilliant sunlight."
