🖼 Red Boats at Argenteuil, c. 1875
Oil on canvas

Vibrant red boats punctuate the Seine's calm waters, their reflections dissolving into loose brushstrokes of blue and white. Monet captures fleeting light and atmospheric effects, founding Impressionism's revolutionary approach to color and perception over descriptive detail.
