MONET, Claude: Fishing Boats

🖼 Fishing Boats, 1884
Oil on canvas
73 × 100 cm
Cologne, Germany

Soft brushwork captures fishing boats dissolving into misty harbor light, their forms blurred by atmospheric conditions. Monet's 1884 seascape exemplifies Impressionism's radical focus on perception over detail, prioritizing fleeting light effects over nautical subject matter.
