Vétheuil 2
1901
Decades after first calling the village of Vétheuil home during a tough chapter of his life, Monet returned in 1901 to capture it once more. Working from his famous floating studio on the Seine, he turned the church and riverside houses into a dreamy wash of lavender, pink, and gold. The reflection in the water takes up half the canvas, showing his absolute obsession with how light dances on the river's surface. It's a quintessential Impressionist masterpiece where the mood and atmosphere completely overpower sharp, realistic details.
