"A Windmill near Zaandam" is an oil painting by Claude Monet created in 1871. This piece showcases Monet's signature Impressionist style with its focus on light and color, capturing the ephemeral atmosphere of a Dutch landscape. The painting features a windmill silhouetted against a cloudy sky, with boats sailing on the water in the foreground. The loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors give the painting a sense of movement and immediacy, transporting the viewer to the scene as Monet experienced it. It is currently located in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK.
