Galerie Mont Argenteuil – Claude Monet^ Monet

Argenteuil is a painting that plunges us into the heart of 19th-century river life, at a time when the Seine was still the scene of many activities. Monet, the master of Impressionism, reveals a landscape where the water reflects the clouds in the sky, the trees on the banks and the moored boats. The masts of the sailing ships rise like antennae, trying to scratch the cloudy sky, while the calm water of the Seine reflects a shimmering image of the scene.

In the foreground, a red boat immediately catches the eye, contrasting with the blues and greens that dominate the canvas. The reflections on the water are captured with almost photographic precision, demonstrating Monet’s ability to capture the immediacy of a moment. It is a peaceful landscape that evokes everyday life on the banks of the Seine, showing a harmony between man and nature that is typical of the Impressionist approach to art.
