Painted in 1875 during Renoir's prolific Argenteuil years, The Seine at Argenteuil (La Seine à Argenteuil) captures the broad river curving past green banks and bright tree-lined slopes under a soft summer sky. The composition unfolds in pale blues, fresh greens, and warm ivory tones, animated by the rapid, broken brushwork Renoir was developing at this high point of early Impressionism. He returned often to Argenteuil to paint alongside Monet, who lived there, and the two pushed each other toward the dissolution of form into pure color and light. The work stands as a luminous testament to the founding moment of Impressionism on the Seine.
