# Claude Monet Painting on His Boat-Studio in Argenteuil [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MANET, Edouard]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 83 x 105 cm ## Commentary Manet set up his easel in the open air to paint Claude Monet in his floating studio. Monet, now living in Argenteuil, had bought his studio-boat second-hand so that he could spend entire days out painting on the water, accompanied by his wife. The three paintings, Argenteuil, Monet Painting on His Boat-Studio, and Boating, a veritable triptych, proved that Manet had entered the Impressionist ranks. He did so under Monet's auspices and Monet's influence. These three pictures share intense blue water, and a bold horizon-less composition. ## Related artworks - [A Bar at the Folies-Bergère \(detail\)]() - [A Bar at the Folies-Bergère]() - [A Matador \(Matador Saluting\)]() - [Argenteuil]() - [At Longchamp Racecourse]() - [At Père Lathuille]() - [At the Café \(Bock Drinkers\)]() - [At the Café]() - [Baudelaire Bareheaded, Full Face]() - [Baudelaire with Hat, in Profile]() - [Baudelaire's Mistress Reclining]() - [Bench in the Garden at Versailles]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
