🖼 Argenteuil, Late Afternoon, 1872
Oil on canvas
60 × 81 cm

Golden light bathes the Seine at Argenteuil, where Monet captures shimmering water and soft brushstrokes dissolving form into pure atmosphere. This 1872 work exemplifies Impressionism's revolutionary focus on light and fleeting moments over narrative detail.
