MONET, Claude: The Bridge at Argenteuil

🖼 The Bridge at Argenteuil, 1874
Oil on canvas

Soft brushwork captures dappled light on water, with a railway bridge anchoring the composition between reflective river and clouded sky. Monet's 1874 study exemplifies Impressionism's revolutionary approach to light and color, establishing modern landscape painting's visual language.
