Choose options
Painted in 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, The Seine at Argenteuil captures the broad river dotted with white-sailed pleasure boats beneath a luminous Ile-de-France sky. The composition unfolds in cool blues, fresh greens, and warm ivory tones, animated by the rapid, broken brushwork that defined the new movement in its founding year. Renoir was painting alongside Monet at Argenteuil, and the two friends pushed each other toward an unprecedented dissolution of form into pure color and light. The work stands as a luminous testament to the very moment Impressionism announced itself to the world on the Seine.
