CLAUDE MONET. The Green Wave

The Green Wave. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 19 1/8 x 25 1/2 in. (48.6 x 64.8 cm). Date: ca. 1866-67.

When this early seascape debuted at the 1879 Impressionist exhibition, a critic remarked that it was "directly influenced by Manet." The handling of paint and the composition, especially the high horizon line, echo Manet's depictions of American warships, <i>The "Kearsarge" at Boulogne</i> (1999.442) and <i>The Battle of the "Kearsarge" and the "Alabama" </i>(Philadelphia Museum of Art), which Monet may have seen on exhibition in Paris in 1865 and 1867. He later--and incorrectly--dated the present work to 1865. In fact, he visited the Normandy coast in 1866 and 1867.
