The Art Institute of Chicago, United States.
One of the early masterpieces of Impressionism, On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt by Claude Monet depicts the artist's future wife, Camille Doncieux, sitting near the River Seine. Monet began the painting while he, Camille, and their new son, Jean, were staying at an inn near the village of Bonnières-sur-Seine. During this early phase in his career, the artist was struggling financially (unable to pay, he and his family were forced to leave the inn after several weeks). Although he was discouraged by the unfavorable response to his works, young Monet was on the verge of an unprecedented artistic breakthrough, embodied in the Art Institute’s painting.
Monet depicted Camille enjoying a glorious day, looking across the river from the town of Bennecourt. The smooth water of the Seine reflects the inn where the couple was staying. The rowboat painted in the foreground transported them to and from the inn. Among the greatest of Monet’s oil sketches, On the Banks of the Seine, Bennecourt reveals the early hallmarks of Impressionism: a commonplace subject; an open-air setting in the countryside near Paris; broken, vibrating brushstrokes that depict the fluctuations of light; a high-keyed palette of rapidly applied blues, greens, and yellows; and forms that evoke a sense of immediacy.
Every hand painted oil painting in this landscape series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the landscape brushwork visible and gives the impressionist oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As living room wall decor, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large living room feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for landscape oil painting as a gift.
