Description
In 1873, while Claude Monet was in Argenteuil just outside of Paris, he fully embraced the country lifestyle. In “The Promenade Near Argenteuil,” viewers see just how peaceful and beautiful this area appeared to Monet’s own eyes. His paintings during this time were painted outdoors to help truly capture the ephemeral qualities of nature. That moment in time is perfectly demonstrated here, from the soft breeze blowing across the people in the foreground to the momentary afternoon light playing across the landscape. A beautiful painting that’s versatile in any location, it would be a great add-on to add a familial warmth to a room.
