Claude Monet's "The Bridge at Argenteuil". In 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, Claude Monet painted the Argenteuil Bridge seven times. This shows how attached the artist was to the motif, using the flowing river as a counterpoint for the geometrical mass of the bridge and its piles reflected in the water.
Here the foreground is filled with sailboats at their mooring. The effects of light on the masts and on the roofs of the houses on the bank in the background are an opportunity for the play of complementary colors (orange and blue) which accentuate the glittering light. The Argenteuil Bridge exhibits great variety in treatment: the still firm outlines of the solid or structured elements, such as the sailboats and the bridge, a smooth, even texture for the water in the foreground, and choppy brushstrokes capturing the reflections in the middle ground. This is a reproduction print in a Shabby Chic white chippy frame with glass, a lovely piece of fine art home decor!
