Landscape at Vétheuil (Paysage, Vétheuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1879 looks across a quiet bend of the Seine toward the hillside village where the artist had settled after leaving Argenteuil. Green slopes, scattered pale houses, and a single leafy tree rise above the calm blue water while feathery clouds drift across a wide summer sky. Created during a period of deep personal hardship, the canvas channels Monet's mood into luminous open-air color and the loose, rapid brushwork of mature Impressionism.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1879.
