Varengeville-sur-Mer, the picturesque village close to the sea in the North of France near Dieppe, has always been an inspiration to many famed artists. Georges Braque, Joan Miró and Claude Monet, to mention but a few, all spent an important time of their creative lives there.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) also spent some time in Varengeville where he produced a substantial body of work, amongst which one of his most famous paintings: ‘Low Tide at Varengeville’.

‘Low Tide at Varengeville’ is also the title of Adrienne Symes’s exhibition at the Olivier Cornet Gallery. The paintings on show were part of the exhibition ‘Varengeville – Une Perspective Irlandaise’ in Varengeville in August 2012 where Symes showed with other Irish artists including Mary Conliff, Gill Trapnell, Michael Wann and Lorraine West.
