Morning on the Seine
1898
Monet captured the misty, quiet magic of the Seine River at dawn using his signature Impressionist style. Instead of sharp lines, he used thick, swirling brushstrokes of cool blues and greens to show how the weeping willows reflect on the water's surface. Painted in 1898, this piece is part of his famous series exploring how light changes throughout the day, turning a simple morning view into a dreamy, atmospheric experience. He actually painted this series from a flat-bottomed boat, drifting along the river to catch the perfect fleeting light!
