Painting by Claude Monet

Ca. 1872
Oil on canvas, H. 48; W. 75 cm

"Regattas at Argenteuil was painted in natural light, because tin tubes and portable easels allowed artists to leave their studios and paint outside. Monet sought to capture the fluidity of air and water and the way they changed with the light." (source)
