Argenteuil, 1872 – Claude Monet Wall Art | Early Impressionist Seine Landscape Canvas Print

Painted in 1872 — just one year after his arrival in Argenteuil — Claude Monet's Argenteuil belongs to the earliest and most foundational period of his work in the Seine-side town that would give its name to one of the most celebrated chapters of Impressionism. The 1872 paintings, made in the months immediately preceding the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874, are among the works in which the new style first achieved its mature voice — the broken brushwork, the brilliant unmodelled colour, and the direct response to open air conditions. A historically significant and beautifully painted work for any interior drawn to the origins of French Impressionism.
