Basin at Argenteuil, 1872 – Claude Monet Wall Art | Musée d'Orsay Impressionist Canvas Print

Painted in 1872, Claude Monet's Basin at Argenteuil presents the wide stretch of the Seine basin at Argenteuil populated with sailing boats and animated by the brilliant midday light — a defining work of his earliest Argenteuil months and a celebrated example of early Impressionist painting now held in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Painted in the year that immediately preceded the foundational 1874 Impressionist exhibition, the canvas captures the moment at which Monet's new manner of working from observation first found its complete pictorial voice. A historically significant and supremely beautiful work for any interior drawn to the masterworks of French Impressionism.
