PAY IN THREE INSTALLMENTS WITH PAYPAL

Claude Monet's "Autumn effect at Argenteuil", painted in 1873, is a significant example of the artist's period of residence in Argenteuil, a location that became a hub for many Impressionist painters seeking a quieter, yet easily accessible environment than Paris.

Monet settled in Argenteuil with his family from 1871 to 1878. During this period, the city and its surroundings offered Monet a rich source of inspiration for his paintings. The painting in question depicts a scene along the Seine, in Argenteuil, during the autumn season.

In this work, Monet applies the techniques that were defining the Impressionist movement: the use of rapid and visible brushstrokes, the attention to the variations of light and color at different times of the day or in different seasons, and the representation of scenes of daily life or natural landscapes. In the painting you can see the chromatic effects of the autumn leaves on the trees that are reflected in the water, creating a play of colors and shapes that was typical of Monet's research on the interaction between light and surface.
