Description
Oil on blue paper, 11ins x 14ins (22 1/2 ins x 25ins ) Painted circa 1866. Courbet visited London in 1862 , where he might have seen John Constable's "Rainstorm over the Sea" . He started painting coastal views about that time, when  he visited Deauville in Normandy in 1866 , there he meets  with Claude Monet, J A Mcneill Whistler and Eugene Boudin. He painted La Trombe in 1866 which this oil could be a preparatory for. The similarity between La Trombe and Constable's Rainstorm are clear to see.
