Monet at Poissy (41)ScaryThat Sunday February 4 of 1883, the first official Oriental Express left Paris. But Monet’s brother Léon may have remembered that day for another reason.He was visiting Claude, who wanted to show him the beauty of the cliffs and took him down vertiginously steep passages where he had to hold Léon’s hand “as if he were a lady”.It goes to show that Monet wasn’t afraid of taking risks to reach the best spots for his studies.Claude Monet, - Aiguille d'Etretat, marée basse (The Needle Rock at Low Tide, Etretat), 1883.
