Houses Mirrored in the Water of the Seine at Argenteuil

Impressionism

The story

Fifteen minutes from Paris by train. That was enough. Monet moved there first in 1871. Then the others started showing up, one by one. Renoir, Manet, Sisley, Caillebotte. Not all at once, but pulled by the same thing. The Seine, the boats, the factories on the bank, the weekend crowds coming in from the city. Modern life happening in real time. And each of them wanted to paint it.
