MONET, Claude: Argenteuil

🖼 Argenteuil, 1872
Oil on canvas
49 × 65 cm
Paris, France

Luminous water reflects pale sky as sailboats drift along the Seine, rendered in feathery brushstrokes that dissolve form into light. Monet captures the leisure and modernity of suburban Paris, pioneering Impressionism's revolutionary technique of optical color mixing.
