MONET, Claude: La Grenouillère

🖼 La Grenouillère, 1869
Oil on canvas
75 × 100 cm
New York, USA

Dappled sunlight fractures across water where figures relax on a floating platform, rendered in loose brushstrokes that blur form and reflection. This proto-Impressionist scene captures modern leisure while establishing the broken color technique that revolutionized painting.
