CLAUDE MONET'S 'THE GARDEN OF MONET AT ARGENTEUIL': A HAVEN IN IMPRESSIONISM
Updated: 6 days ago
Claude Monet painted the garden of his house at Argenteuil in 1873, during the years he lived beside the Seine and developed Impressionism. The canvas fills the frame with flowers and dappled light, and it shows how early the garden became his main subject, long before Giverny and the water lilies.
Why did Monet paint his garden at Argenteuil?
Monet lived at Argenteuil, a town on the Seine near Paris, from 1871 to 1878. The house had a garden of bright flower beds, and he painted it repeatedly, with dahlias under changing light. Working outdoors with quick, broken brushstrokes was the core of the new style.
Who visited Monet at Argenteuil?
Argenteuil became a meeting place for the group that would be called the Impressionists. Renoir and Manet both painted Monet's family in the garden in 1874, and Manet's picture appears among the related posts below. Monet's garden pictures from these years led towards his later, much larger garden at Giverny.
