La Seine à Asnières
1873
Oil on canvas
Collection of Otto Krebs, Holzdorf. Now in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Asnières, long ago made part of Paris, was an independent community in the mid-19th century, popular for fishing and boating. As the nearest town to Paris, it often served as a place of recreation. In this picture Monet viewed Asnières from the Parisian bank of the Seine. Across the massive shapes of barges we see a disconcerting array of buildings, ranging from the grand manor on the right to chunky rental buildings and small villas. The barges set off the evanescent reflections - glimmering, magically alive - that naturally link these two different worlds. Monet does not emphasize the social aspects; the landscape is not so much a view of some fashionable resort area as it is a poetic image of sunlight - at a time when, shortly before nightfall, the light is especially translucent and is capable of ennobling any natural scene.
As dining room wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the fine art brushwork visible and gives the impressionist oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As dining room wall art, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large dining room feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for fine art oil painting as a gift.
