About this work

Artist: Claude Monet (1840–1926)
Year: 1874
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 60 × 79.7 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Impressionism

Pleasure boats moored on the Seine at Argenteuil, with the road bridge spanning the river beyond, painted in 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition. Argenteuil was Monet's home from 1871 to 1878 and the sailing basin was a favourite subject. Seen from a few metres away the brushstrokes settle into a convincing summer scene; up close they separate into distinct dabs of unblended blue, red, green and yellow, with quick, skipping marks for the lapping water and denser, stubbier strokes in the trees. The figure in the sailboat is barely more than a ghost. The painting was sold by Durand-Ruel in 1890 to the jeweller Henri Vever and passed through the de Curel family before Paul Mellon bought it in 1961; he gave it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1983.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is The Bridge at Argenteuil in the public domain?

Yes. Claude Monet (1840–1926) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Bridge at Argenteuil painted, and in what medium?

The Bridge at Argenteuil dates from 1874 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 60 × 79.7 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
