"Argenteuil"
Claude Monet
The town of Argenteuil lies on the banks of the Seine, it had become a great source of inspiration for Monet and his contemporaries, Manet and Renoir who had come to visit him there. Claude Monet had moved with his family there in 1871 and was working on as many as 80 paintings simultaneously. The painting Argenteuil depicts the murky waters of the river, covered with scattered green algae, the parts not covered reflects like a mirror. The boats floating on it are rusty and red, starking contrast as it is set against the blue waters. Boats were a personal favourite for Monet to draw, his earlier works also show his intrigue. He was also fascinated by the effects of light and water, so much that he placed himself in the landscape, painting on a boat, to not limit his viewpoint. He enhances the frame with the splashes of white on the water, the sailboats and the skies. His long brushstrokes show Impressionism at his height. There is no one perspective but two on each side- the right and the left of the boats. Monet's stay at Argenteuil coincided with the first Impressionist art exhibition and when words 'Impressionism' and 'Impressionist' entered the vocabulary of art critics and the public for the first time.
