About this picture
The Seine at Giverny is a public-domain painting by Claude Monet, dated 1897. Oil on canvas. The file comes from National Gallery of Art.
“The Seine at Giverny” (1897) belongs to Monet’s habit of staying with one motif — a bridge, a field, a station, the Thames, the lily pond — and painting it again as the light changed.
About the artist
Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a founder of Impressionism. He painted the same motif again and again — haystacks, the Rouen cathedral, the Thames, then the water lilies at Giverny — to catch how light changes.
