The Artist’s House at Argenteuil 1873

Claude Monet’s 1873 Impressionist painting *The Artist’s House at Argenteuil* depicts a sunny day in the garden of Monet’s home in Argenteuil, France. The painting features a young girl playing with a hoop in the foreground, with a woman standing in the doorway of the house and lush greenery and flowers throughout the composition. The loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, characteristic of Impressionism, capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. Monet’s focus on capturing the immediacy of everyday life and the beauty of the natural world makes this piece a quintessential example of Impressionist art.
