Title: The Bridge at Argenteuil
Original location: Musée d’Orsay, Paris, France
Year: 1874

A work by Claude Monet, painted in 1874 and exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay, is a representation of the impressionist movement. This painting captures the essence of this artistic movement by focusing on the changing effects of light and atmosphere on the Seine River and the Argenteuil Bridge. Monet uses light, carefree brushstrokes to convey the vibration and luminosity of the water and the sky, a characteristic technique of Impressionism that sought to capture fleeting moments. The choice of subject reflects Monet's fascination with landscapes and everyday scenes, moving away from classical depictions and academic. Additionally, the painting stands out for its balanced composition and the use of bright colors that emphasize natural light.
