THE IMMORTAL SAILS

“The essence of the motif is the mirror of water, whose appearance alters at every moment.“ — Claude Monet In order to observe the effects of sunlight on the water more closely, Monet often worked from a boat-turned-studio. In Argenteuil, the rust-red boats, painted in contrasting colors to the blue water and sky and the green water plants, are depicted surrounded by shimmering light — perhaps the true subject of the painting.
