Claude Monet
(1840 - 1926)
 

The artwork Quai du Louvre (also Wharf of Louvre, Paris) is an oil on canvas painting by the  Claude Monet in the year 1867. A quintessential example of the Impressionist movement, the painting measures 93 by 65 centimeters and can be categorized as a cityscape genre. This piece is part of the collection at the Gemeentemuseum den Haag in The Hague, Netherlands.
The artwork epitomizes Impressionist sensibilities with its vivid representation of light and atmosphere. It portrays a bustling Parisian riverside scene near the Louvre, filled with activity and movement. The use of quick, visible brushstrokes imbues the scene with a sense of immediacy and the transient effects of light, a hallmark of the Impressionist style.
