This landscape was not painted on site, but later in the artist’s studio where he experimented with the structure of his many pictures of Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme. The particularly ambiguous foreground and fractured elements in the background may result from the synthesis of two separate drawings sketched on site, the left half aligning with one sketch and the right another. Degas once advised: “A painting is something that requires as much trickery, malice, and vice as the perpetration of a crime, so create falsely and add a touch from nature.”\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/459098\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - View of Saint Valery sur Somme\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edgar Degas","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887328600307,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (20\" x 24\")","offer_id":49887328633075,"sku":null,"price":888.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16 3\/8\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887328665843,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (20\" x 24\")","offer_id":49887328698611,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (24 1\/2\" x 29 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887328731379,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (31 5\/8\" x 38\")","offer_id":49887328764147,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (38\" x 45 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887328796915,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (44 3\/4\" x 53 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887328829683,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (53 5\/8\" x 64 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887328862451,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ViewofSaint-Valery-sur-Somme.jpg?v=1790143676","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/view-of-saint-valery-sur-somme","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
