Maisons À Argenteuil 1883

"Maisons À Argenteuil" is an oil painting by French Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte. Painted in 1883, the work depicts a view of houses and a wall in Argenteuil, a commune in the northwest suburbs of Paris. The scene captures the natural light and colors of the French landscape, a hallmark of the Impressionist movement. The loose brushstrokes and fragmented forms contribute to a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. Caillebotte's mastery of capturing the effects of sunlight and shade on architectural structures is evident in this work. The painting is a testament to the artist's keen observation of the everyday world, and a celebration of the beauty of urban life in the late 19th century.
