Regatta at Argenteuil (Régate à Argenteuil), c. 1872 by Claude Monet

Regatta at Argenteuil (Régate à Argenteuil), painted by Claude Monet c. 1872 captures a fleet of white-sailed boats racing across the Seine at Argenteuil, their hulls and sails doubled by shimmering reflections in the blue water. Red-roofed houses and dark trees line the far bank beneath a pale sky, painted in short, broken strokes that vibrate with afternoon light. The scene reflects Monet's move to Argenteuil in 1871, where the river's sailing regattas became one of his favorite Impressionist subjects.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: c. 1872.
