Argenteuil is an 1874 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet (1832-1883), first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1875. [1] [2] It is one of Manet's first works to be regarded as a fully Impressionist painting due to its naturalistic style and its bold palette. [3]
In 1874, he helped prepare for the first major Impressionist exhibition, where he held a retrospective of his works. He also participated in their second exhibition, [ 2 ] focusing on landscapes but, as the years progressed, he turned away from pure Impressionism and introduced more elements of Realism into his work.
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience.
