MONET, Claude: Landscape in Ile Saint-Martin

🖼 Landscape in Ile Saint-Martin, 1881
Oil on canvas
73 × 59.7 cm
Potsdam, Germany

Soft brushstrokes dissolve the landscape into shimmering light and atmospheric haze, with water and sky nearly indistinguishable. Monet captures fleeting impressions of the Seine island, pioneering modernism's focus on perception over representation.
