Port-Goulphar, Belle-Île is a 1894 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
This painting depicts a serene coastal scene, with a rocky shoreline and a calm sea. The dominant colors are blues and greens, with touches of brown and purple in the rocks. In the foreground, the rocky shoreline is rendered in thick, textured brushstrokes, while the sea is depicted in softer, more fluid strokes. The overall effect is one of tranquility and depth.
