By Claude Monet (1840-1926), Autumn Effect at Argenteuil , 1873, The Courtauld, London. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #impressionism From the museum: “Claude Monet lived in Argenteuil, a suburb of Paris, from 1871 to 1878. It was an affordable alternative to the capital, easily accessible by the new railroads. As a formerly rural town undergoing rapid industrial change, it also offered him a uniquely modern landscape.”
