Claude Monet (1840-1926): Mill at Limetz, 1888
The mill is at the far right, whereas half the composition is devoted to the overhanging trees above the river Epte, near the artist's home at Giverny. Monet creates a dense and near-abstract mosaic of paint with flecks of light and dark green, blue and pink. The painting exemplifies Monet's meticulous and thickly encrusted paint surfaces in the 1880s, in contrast to his earlier sketchy handling. This new approach may have been a response to Seurat and Signac, who developed their pointillist style in the 1880s.
