Women on boat

Date: 1887
Dimensions: 145 x 133

The painting depicts two women in white dresses sitting in a boat on the surface of a river. Claude Monet's impressionist style of painting uses light and soft colours to create a play of light and shadows on the water. The women are wearing hats and have their backs turned to the viewer, with one looking over her shoulder. The reflection in the water beneath the boat adds depth and realism to the scene. The image is a depiction of a calm summer day and has a relaxed and peaceful feel.

Claude Oscar Monet (1840-1926). A native Parisian, who thoroughly developed the idea of Impressionism. Monet almost scientifically studied the effect of light on different objects. He devoted himself to so called transitory states, which quickly led him to work with colour and light, his paintings acting on the viewer from the first impression. His use of open-air painting and objects which were special only because of light opened the way for the beginnings of modern painting. Monet’s Impression, Sunrise (1874) not only gave the name to the whole art movement, but secured Monet a place among the best painters of all times. At one time, he resided in London and created his famous study Houses of Parliament (Monet wondered, How could the English painters paint Parliament when it cannot be seen for the fog?). In the Giverny, which became his favourite retreat after the death of his wife, he painted motifs from his garden and the popular series Water Lilies - the world of the water was as poetic and mysterious as a primordial paradise.
