Banks of the Seine, Vétheuil — Oscar-Claude Monet, 1880 Postcard

Held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, Banks of the Seine, Vétheuil (1880) is one of Monet's most restful river paintings: white daisies and yellow wildflowers thick in the foreground, the calm Seine running across the middle, and a row of poplars holding the far bank under a wide summer sky. It carries the easy hush he reached during the Vétheuil years. The postcard suits a slow note from the countryside, a botanical correspondent, or a small print to keep near a window. From the Monet postcard collection in our Painting art postcard hub. Printed on 350 g/m² stock with glossy lamination on the front · 10 × 15 cm.
