Claude Monet | Argenteuil, veduta del braccio piccolo della Senna, 1872

Durante il XIX ed il XX secolo, in particolare, la Senna ha ispirato molti artisti.

La Senna è uno dei principali fiumi della Francia. La lunghezza approssimativa del fiume è di 776,6 km, le sue fonti sono in Borgogna, a 470 m d'altitudine, a Saint-Germain-Source-Seine sull'altopiano di Langres, e la foce è nella Manica, a Nord della Francia, presso Le Havre.

Le sorgenti della Senna furono acquisite in proprietà dalla città di Parigi nel 1864.

In 1872, Monet moved to Argenteuil, a town along the Seine River 10 km northwest of Paris, where he lived until January 1878.

Argenteuil, which was connected to Paris by the opening of the railway in 1851, was a popular leisure spot for people to play in the river, but it was rapidly industrialized.

Claude Monet | Pommiers en Fleurs, 1878

The most consistently explorative of all the Impressionists, more than any artists of the period, Monet represents the movement and all it stood for.

A steady and persistent worker, independent of the necessity of waiting on 'inspiration', he found a prop for creativity in 'serialism', the creation of sets of work using the same motif; thus emphasising that a whole range of equally 'real' paintings could be made of the same subject, each varying according to the quality of light and weather conditions.

Claude Monet | Low Tide at Pourville near Dieppe, 1882

This is one of several views Monet painted of the cliffs and sand flats of Pourville, a small fishing village on the Normandy coast of France.

The title indicates a momentary stage in the continuous cycle of nature, just as the quick, spontaneous application of paint reflects Monet's efforts to capture shifting effects of light, weather, and tide.
