The Church At Vetheuil 1880

"The Church at Vetheuil" (1880) by Claude Monet is a prime example of Impressionist landscape painting. The scene features the village of Vetheuil and its prominent church as seen across the river Seine, with a subtle sky and reflections creating a sense of tranquility. Monet captures the interplay of light and atmosphere using short, visible brushstrokes characteristic of the Impressionist style. The composition, centered on the church, is balanced by the river and its reflections, giving the piece a sense of depth. This work is a quintessential example of Monet's series depicting the French countryside.
