Canvas Vetheuil Sunset 1901 Gallery Wrapped Canvas Art Print by Claude Monet

1901

Claude Monet
French, 1840-1926

In summer 1901 Claude Monet rented a modest house in Lavacourt, a small hamlet across the Seine from Vétheuil and non far from his property at Giverny, which he was in the process of expanding. He began 15 paintings of Vétheuil from the balcony of this rented domicile, all of which characteristic the aforementioned restricted view of the riverbank and town—punctuated past the church—and document the changes in light throughout the solar day. The Art Institute holds 2 paintings from the series, one from midday and another from sunset. Painted on near square canvases, Monet divided each composition in half, separating the town from its reflection. Rather than replicating the area'southward topography or creating a convincing illusion of space, Monet emphasized the decorative over the descriptive qualities of this riverscape. His loose brushwork and subtle colour transitions mistiness the distinctions betwixt the scene's various forms, dissolving the borders, for instance, between the water and the land and the country and the heaven. The shapes of the different buildings forth the shoreline sally through changes in the direction of brushstrokes and slight shifts in hue.
