Vetheuil 1901

Claude Monet's "Vetheuil" from 1901 depicts the small French village of Vetheuil as seen from across the Seine river. This Impressionist painting captures the shimmering light and reflective surface of the water, a hallmark of Monet's work. The brushstrokes are loose and vibrant, conveying the ever-changing nature of light and color. The village in the distance, with its red roofs and green trees, provides a sense of tranquility and balance against the dynamic water. This oil painting is characteristic of Monet's later period, showcasing his fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of nature.
