MONET, Claude: La Grenouillère

🖼 La Grenouillère, 1869
Oil on canvas
73 × 92 cm
London, United Kingdom

Dappled sunlight fractures across water where figures gather on a floating platform, rendered in loose brushstrokes of blue, green, and violet. This plein-air sketch epitomizes Impressionism's revolutionary focus on light and momentary perception over finished detail.
