Claude Monet
Date: 1872
Style: Impressionism
Genre: landscape
Location: Musée d'Orsay
Boating became fashionable from 1830 in the Ile de France region. Racing boats competed in Argenteuil from 1850 because the Seine widened into a basin that provided the largest expanse of water in the Paris region. Linked to Paris by train, Argenteuil attracted many competitors and on Sundays crowds came to stroll along the riverside and watch the races.
Claude Monet lived and worked in Argenteuil from December 1871 to 1878 and half of the 170 canvases he painted during this period show the banks of the Seine. Two years before the Impressionist movement officially came into existence, Monet painted this scene which has all its characteristics, in particular the famous fragmented brushstroke.
The Argenteuil regattas were painted with natural light, as tin tubes and portable easels allowed artists to leave their studios and paint outside. Monet sought to capture the fluidity of air and water and the way they changed with light. He explained what he was trying to do: "I want to make something intangible. It's astonishing, this light that goes out and takes the colour with it."
