🖼 On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt, 1868
Oil on canvas

Soft brushwork captures dappled light filtering through trees onto the Seine's rippling surface. Monet's plein-air study exemplifies Impressionism's revolutionary approach to color, atmosphere, and fleeting natural effects over representational detail.
