Break-up of the ice on the Seine The Ice Blocks near V

This shows a wintry early morning view towards two of the narrow islands of trees at Bennecourt near Giverny on the River Seine. By 1890 Monet complemented his on-the-spot Impressionist practice with extensive re-working in the studio. This resulted in many pictures with close-toned atmospheric harmonies. This is most famously evident in his Rouen Cathedral and haystack series, but can also be seen in this work.https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/saskia/4196/thumbnail.jp
