Regatta at Argenteuil by Claude Monet
Claude Monet painted Regatta at Argenteuil in 1872. After a brief stay in Paris, Monet moved his family out of the city to Argenteuil. A quiet and attractive town on the right bank of the Seine and on a regular railway stop, it was a popular retreat for weekend visitors. During his first summer in this new location, Monet occupied himself with a familiar subject: boats in full sail under the summer sun.
 Claude Monet's Regatta at Argenteuil (18-7/8x29-1/2 inches) is an oil on canvas housed at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. |
