The oil on canvas Fishing Boats at Sea was painted by Monet outside, “en plein air”, capturing the orange sky of early morning or evening. The author’s relaxed brushstrokes, the use of clear fresh colors and the depiction of light are evident in the painting. Oil on canvas Fishing Boats at Sea is Monet’s tribute to Edouard Manet, who also painted similar motifs of ships.
