Île aux Fleurs near Vétheuil (L'Île aux Fleurs près de Vétheuil), 1880 by Claude Monet

Île aux Fleurs near Vétheuil, painted by Claude Monet in 1880, captures a flower-covered island on the Seine near his home at Vétheuil, its blossoms and reflections dissolving into a shimmering unity of colour and light. Painted during an intense period of riverside study following the death of his wife Camille, the work reveals Monet's extraordinary sensitivity to the relationship between solid form and its reflection in water. The composition is among the quieter, more contemplative achievements of his Vétheuil years.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1880.
