PAY IN THREE INSTALLMENTS WITH PAYPAL

"Ice on the Seine near Bougival" is a work by Claude Monet, painted around 1867-1868. This painting transports us to a winter scene along the Seine River, near Bougival, a town not far from Paris that was a popular holiday resort at the time.

In this painting, Monet focuses on the representation of the natural phenomenon of ice floating on the surface of the river. The artist captures the cold and somewhat still atmosphere of winter, using brushstrokes that suggest mist and an overcast sky. The sheets of ice moving on the water create a visual rhythm, and we can see human figures on the bank, intent on drawing water from the river.

Although not part of his later celebrated series, such as those of water lilies or cathedrals, it anticipates his interest in rendering the transient effects of light and weather on landscapes. The painting reflects Monet's attention to the natural world and his ability to transform everyday scenes into painterly observations.
