The Seine at Vétheuil (La Seine à Vétheuil), 1879-1880 by Claude Monet

The Seine at Vétheuil (La Seine à Vétheuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1879-1880, captures the village's slender church spire and riverside rooftops rising above the calm waters of the Seine, where a small rowboat drifts near the reflected hillside. Soft golden light washes the sky and water alike, Monet's quick, broken brushstrokes dissolving architecture and foliage into a shimmer of color and reflection. The work belongs to the intimate river views Monet produced during his years living in Vétheuil, a quietly observed corner of rural France that anchored some of his most personal Impressionist experiments.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1879-1880.
