 Claude Monet 
(1840 - 1926)

In 1869, Claude Monet moved with his future wife and their son to a house near Bougival, a small but fashionable town on the Seine. Monet’s arrival at Bougival signaled a new era in his art in which outdoors, or plein-air, painting took precedence and the artist’s keen interest in the transformative effects of natural light were exhaustively explored. Monet’s The Seine at Bougival offers a view across a traversable bridge in France
