100% Normandy

Painting

Normandy has also been home to many painters among whom Fernand Léger, Jean-François Millet, Eugène Boudin and Raoul Dufy, and has inspired so many others, all fascinated by the quite unique light that embraces its coasts, harbours and country landscapes.
Normandy is also the 'cradle of Impressionism'. It is here that Claude Monet painted his famous 'Impression, Sunrise' in 1872.
Today, Normandy also boasts dynamic and creative contemporary art.
