"Canoe on the Epte" is an oil painting by Claude Monet from 1890. At that time Monet was living at Giverny, in France, where the river Epte flowed near his property. The river often became the subject of his canvases, allowing him to explore the effects of light and colour on the water and the surrounding vegetation.
In this picture one can see two female figures, presumably Suzanne and Blanche Hoschedé, daughters of Ernest Hoschedé (a friend of Monet), boating in a canoe. The composition centres on rendering the vibrations of light and reflections on the water, a recurring element in the artist's output. The picture is currently held at the São Paulo Museum of Art, in Brazil.
