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

Red Boats, Argenteuil (Les Bateaux rouges, Argenteuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1875 gathers a cluster of crimson-hulled boats moored along the Seine, their forms mirrored in the rippling blue water beside white-sailed craft and a leafy green riverbank. Painted during Monet’s productive years at Argenteuil, the scene distills the leisure and shimmering light of the river town that drew the Impressionist circle. Loose, luminous brushwork sets a bold red accent against cool blues, revealing the artist refining the plein-air manner that would define the movement.

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