Rapids on the Petite Creuse at Fresselines (Torrent de la Petite Creuse à Fresselines), 1889 by Claude Monet

Rapids on the Petite Creuse at Fresselines (Torrent de la Petite Creuse à Fresselines), painted by Claude Monet in 1889 captures the Petite Creuse river churning over hidden rocks, its surface broken into flashes of white foam and deep green shadow. Above the current, a steep bank of boulders glows with heathery touches of lavender, rose and moss green. Monet painted it during his intense spring 1889 campaign in the Creuse valley, a rugged series that pushed his art toward the serial method of the following decade.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1889.
