Bassin d'Argenteuil, c. 1872 – Claude Monet Wall Art | Early Impressionist Seine Canvas Print

Painted around 1872, Claude Monet's Bassin d'Argenteuil presents the broad basin of the Seine at Argenteuil populated with the leisure craft and sailing boats that drew fashionable Paris to the town in summer. Painted in the months immediately following the painter's arrival in Argenteuil, the canvas belongs to the foundational period of Impressionism and demonstrates the new manner of working from observation that would become the central principle of the movement. A historically significant and luminously composed work for any interior drawn to the origins of French Impressionism.
