Red Boats, Argenteuil (Les Bateaux rouges, Argenteuil), 1875 by Claude Monet

Red Boats, Argenteuil (Les Bateaux rouges, Argenteuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1875 shows a cluster of red-hulled sailboats moored on the Seine at Argenteuil, their slender masts rising against a brilliant blue summer sky. Swans glide near the far bank, where a red-roofed house peeks through dense green trees and distant white sails drift toward the horizon. Painted during Monet’s celebrated Argenteuil years, the canvas distills the leisurely boating life of the Seine into shimmering strokes of pure Impressionist color.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1875.
