The Village of Vétheuil (Le Village de Vétheuil), 1879 by Claude Monet

The Village of Vétheuil (Le Village de Vétheuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1879 gathers the little Seine village on a green hillside beneath the tall stone tower of its medieval church. Pale houses cluster among the slopes while dark trees crowd the foreground and a restless sky of broken grey and white clouds sweeps overhead. One of the many views Monet made after settling at Vétheuil in 1878, the canvas turns a modest farming town into a study of shifting light and quick, broken Impressionist brushwork.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1879.
