The Banks of the Marne at Charenton c. 1895

Armand Guillaumin's "The Banks of the Marne at Charenton" (c. 1895) is a striking example of his signature Impressionist style, marked by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The landscape scene captures the beauty of the Marne River winding through the French countryside, with lush greenery, a bright sky, and a touch of red hinting at the warmth of the setting sun. Guillaumin was a contemporary of artists like Cézanne and Seurat, and his works often depicted the everyday life and natural landscapes of his beloved Paris and its surrounding areas.
