MONET, Claude: Thaw in Argenteuil

🖼 Thaw in Argenteuil, 1873
Oil on canvas
55 × 73 cm

Soft brushwork captures melting ice and pale winter light along the Seine, with figures reflected in unfrozen patches. Monet's fleeting atmospheric effects pioneered Impressionism's focus on light's momentary transformation of landscape.
