• On the Bank of the Seine, BenneCourt

• 1868

• Medium: Oil on Canvas

• Monet's primary subjects in this painting were leisure time near water and capturing the
effects of air and light through color.

• Sunrise

• 1872

• Medium: Oil on Canvas

• its subject is the harbour of Le Havre in France, using very loose brush strokes that suggest
rather than delineate it.

• The Artist's House at Argenteuil

• 1873

• Oil on Canvas

• Weaving together short, staccato brush strokes, Monet created harmonious textures of
leaves and light, figures and flowers. Even the shadow cast by the house is warm in tone,
made up of yellow, mauve, and mellow gray.

• Interior

• 1868–1869

• Oil on canvas

• It has a distinctly stage-managed character: items are arranged as if they are props, while
the dramatic lighting increases the impression that a play is being enacted. In addition to the
mysterious subject-matter, it has a stage-like effect .

• Portraits, At the Stock Exchange

• 1879

• Oil on canvas

• The brushstroke on the painting is quick, somewhat abstract. The psychological perspective
of the painting is one of detachment, a common viewpoint in Impressionist paintings.
• The Bellelli Family

• 1858-1867

• Oil on canvas

• This portrait evokes the family tensions isolating each member of the family. The imposing
dimensions, the sober colours, the structured games of open perspectives (doors and
mirrors), all converge in strengthening a climate of oppression. All the more so as
suggestions of escape appear, such as this curious little dog split by the frame.

• The Night Café

• Oil on canvas

• In wildly contrasting, vivid colours, the ceiling is green, the upper walls red, the light effects,
gas ceiling lamps and floor largely yellow. The paint is applied thickly, with many of the lines
of the room leading toward the door in the back. The perspective looks somewhat
downward toward the floor.

• The Potato Eaters

• Oil on canvas

• He deliberately chose coarse and ugly models, thinking that they would be natural and
unspoiled in his finished work. He really wanted to make it so that people get the idea that
these folk, who are eating their potatoes by the light of their little lamp, have tilled the earth
themselves with these hands they are putting in the dish, and so it speaks of manual labour.

• Sunflowers

• Oil on canvas

• The paintings show sunflowers in all stages of life, from full bloom to withering. The
paintings were considered innovative for their use of the yellow spectrum, partly because
newly invented pigments made new colours possible.

• The Basket Of Apples

• Oil on canvas

• The piece is often noted for its disjointed perspective. For example, the right side of the
tabletop is not in the same plane as the left side, as if the image simultaneously reflects two
viewpoints. Paintings such as this helped form a bridge between Impressionism and Cubism.
• Rideau, Cruchon et Compotier

• Oil on canvas

• It is painted with expressed complex emotions while still being based upon carefully
observed reality. Paintings of this type would eventually lead to the creation of new art
styles during the 20th century such as Picasso's cubism.

• The Bathers

• Oil on canvas

• With each version of the bathers, Cézanne moved away from the traditional presentation of
paintings, intentionally creating works which would not appeal to the novice viewer. He
abstract nude females present in Large Bathers give the painting tension and density.
