The Artist's House at Argenteuil, Claude Monet

The Artist's House at Argenteuil

Claude Monet, 1873

Claude Monet and his family lived in Argenteuil, outside Paris, from 1871 to 1878. In this painting, he depicted his five- or six-year-old son, Jean, playing with a hoop, and his wife, Camille, standing in the doorway of their vine-covered house. The pleasant weather and neatly kept garden, a forerunner of the artist’s celebrated garden at Giverny, give a sense of tranquility and well-being.
