Riverbank at Argenteuil 1877

Claude Monet's "Riverbank at Argenteuil" (1877) is a prime example of Impressionism, showcasing the artist's fascination with capturing fleeting moments of light and color. The scene depicts a serene view of the Seine River, with boats and sailboats dotting the water, while a colorful expanse of flowers dominates the foreground. This artwork, painted outdoors, uses visible brushstrokes and vibrant hues to depict the atmosphere of a summer day on the riverbank at Argenteuil, a favorite subject of Monet.
