# The Bridge at Argenteuil [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MONET, Claude]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 60 x 80 cm ## Commentary The sailboats on the Seine, which Monet often painted from his floating studio, were among his favourite motifs in Argenteuil. Because water mirrors the visual world, it is an element that is found again and again in Monet's pictures. The boats, the embankment, the house on the opposite bank, the trees, the bridge, and the all-enveloping sky are reflected in the water. ## Related artworks - [A Cart on the Snowy Road at Honfleur]() - [A Corner of the Hoschedé Garden at Montgeron]() - [A Field of Poppies]() - [Argenteuil]() - [Beach at Sainte-Adresse]() - [Boats on the Beach at Étretat]() - [Bordighera]() - [Boulevard des Capucines]() - [Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, in Winter]() - [Bouquet of Flowers]() - [Bouquet of Sunflowers]() - [Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
