Morning on the Seine near Giverny (Matinée sur la Seine près de Giverny), 1897 by Claude Monet

Morning on the Seine near Giverny (Matinée sur la Seine près de Giverny), painted by Claude Monet in 1897 captures the still, mist-veiled river at first light, its glassy surface mirroring the willows that arch overhead. Cool blues and greens dissolve into a soft glow where the rising sun burns through the dawn fog beside Giverny. Worked up from the floating studio Monet moored on the water, the canvas belongs to his celebrated Mornings on the Seine series, in which he tracked one view through the shifting light of daybreak.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1897.
