La route rouge près de Menton 1884

Claude Monet's "La route rouge près de Menton" (1884) is a quintessential example of Impressionist painting. The artwork captures a serene landscape overlooking the Mediterranean Sea near Menton, France. Monet's signature brushstrokes and vibrant colors, particularly the bright red path that leads the viewer's eye towards the distant mountain, create a sense of light and atmosphere, characteristic of Impressionism. This painting exemplifies Monet's fascination with capturing the fleeting effects of light and weather, a recurring theme throughout his illustrious career.
