The Artist’s House at Argenteuil (La Maison de l’Artiste à Argenteuil), 1873 by Claude Monet

The Artist’s House at Argenteuil, painted by Claude Monet in 1873 shows the painter’s own vine-covered house at Argenteuil, with his young son Jean playing with a hoop along a garden path lined with blue and white ceramic planters while his wife Camille stands in the doorway. Painted during the most prolific years of Monet’s Argenteuil period, the canvas captures the tranquil domestic world that fueled the emergence of Impressionism as a movement. The dappled light across the gravel path and climbing vines exemplifies the loose, luminous brushwork Monet was perfecting at the time.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1873.
