MONET, Claude: Ice Floes on the Seine near Bennecourt

🖼 Ice Floes on the Seine near Bennecourt, 1893
Oil on canvas
65 × 100 cm

Pale blue ice chunks fragment the Seine's surface, caught in soft winter light and loose brushwork. Monet captures the fleeting effects of seasonal change, emphasizing light and atmosphere over precise detail—a cornerstone of Impressionist practice.
