In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926) was one of a daring group of French painters who turned away from academic tradition and developed a fresh, spontaneous style devoted to the pursuit of light and its fleeting effects on sky, water, and land. Painted in 1874, the year of the group’s first exhibition in Paris, Monet’s Sailboats on the Seine at Petit-Gennevilliers reflects the emergence of the artist’s mature style. His agile brushwork was superbly suited to the evanescent interplay of sunlight and water. The group—whose “Impressionists” moniker was inspired by critical attention directed at another of Monet’s paintings, Impressionism: Sunrise—deftly captured scenes of everyday life in flickering brushstrokes, bold colors, and soft atmospheric effects. Water and the reflections of landscapes would become an obsession for Monet, and Édouard Manet, one of his contemporaries, would speak admiringly of him as “the Raphael of water.”

this one was VERY hard
Thought this one would be fairly easy and was surprised when it wasn't. Always a nice surprise though as I don't like them to be too easy.
The colors present a decent challenge. We did not get this one finished quickly. We shared with a neighbor who has a good eye for color and likes to sort her pieces finely by color. She also reported having a good challenge with this Monet. The art is lovely.
Lovely artwork. Excellent quality.
This is my second Monet and am a masochist for getting this second one.
Thank you for working through these trying times. It was the just distraction I needed.I'll be back. Stay healthy.
very challenging but worth the effort to complete
So far, so good, but ask me after Christmas to send you a review as this is a present for a real puzzle-lover.
