"Cliff at Etretat" is a painting by the renowned French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1849. This work is part of a series of landscapes that Delacroix painted after his trip to Normandy, where he was inspired by the dramatic coastline and natural beauty of the region. The painting depicts the famous cliffs at Étretat, a small fishing village that became a popular subject for artists in the 19th century due to its striking geological formations, including natural arches and a pointed formation known as the Aiguille or Needle.

Delacroix, primarily known for his expressive brushwork and use of color, approached landscape painting with the same vigor and emotional intensity that characterized his historical and literary scenes. In "Cliff at Etretat," he captures the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, the power of the sea, and the majesty of the cliffs. The composition is imbued with a sense of movement and drama, reflecting the Romantic fascination with nature's sublime and untamable forces.

Measuring 81 cm × 100 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It showcases Delacroix's skillful handling of the medium, with loose and energetic brushstrokes that convey the texture of the rock formations and the tumultuous sea. The palette is dominated by naturalistic greens, blues, and earth tones, punctuated by the white of the crashing waves and the play of light across the scene.

"Cliff at Etretat" is significant as it illustrates Delacroix's contribution to landscape painting, a genre that was gaining prominence in the 19th century alongside the rise of plein air painting and the Barbizon School. While Delacroix is often associated with more dramatic and exotic subjects, this work and others from his Normandy series reveal his sensitivity to the landscape of his homeland and his ability to translate its essence onto canvas.

Today, "Cliff at Etretat" is held in a public collection, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate Delacroix's landscape work alongside his more well-known historical and orientalist paintings. It remains a testament to the artist's versatility and his enduring impact on the development of modern art.
