Claude Monet,Camille in the Garden at Argenteuil 1876,oil on canvas
In 1876,Monet made no less than ten paintings of his rented house and garden at Argenteuil.This canvas may be among the ones he painted in June when he was working on "a series of rather interesting new things."Madame Monet seems incidental in comparison to the impressive stand of hollyhocks in the middle of the composition.Flickering brushstrokes of brightly colored paint makes the canvas appear to pulsate with light.
