Seascape, Storm is a 1866 oil by Claude Monet, a Realism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows a small sailboat on a rough sea, with three men on board. The boat is positioned in the center of the image, with its sails billowing in the wind. The sea is depicted in shades of green and white, with waves crashing against the boat. In the background, a gray sky with clouds adds to the sense of turmoil. The overall mood of the painting is one of energy and movement, capturing the power of the sea and the resilience of the sailors.

Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
