Description
Claude Monet painted Vetheuil, Morning Effect in 1901 as part of his Morning on the Seine series. In this collection of landscapes, he explores the way light plays off the water the Seine during different parts of the morning and in different locations along the water. In this piece, he has chosen to depict a morning scene with a tiny village in the background. The red roofs catch the eye as a lovely contrast to the vivid blue water and sky. The broad brushstrokes create movement in the water and the grass. The scene is both full of life and calming to look at.
