At Argenteuil, Claude MONET found again some of his favorite models : boats.

La présence du pont crée un contraste de lumières dans les reflets qui n'est pas sans rappeller celui que Claude MONET recréera volontairement à Giverny par le Pont Japonnais.

The presence of the bridge creates a contrast in the reflects.

Claude MONET will recreate this effect by building the Japanese bridge over the pond at Giverny.

Au moment où Claude MONET vivait à Argenteuil, la ville était devenue un important centre nautique. Un club nautique parisien y avait installé son quartier général.

While Claude MONET was living in Argenteuil, the town became an important sailing place as a parisian sailing club had settled its headquarter there.

Claude MONET retrouve aussi les régates qu'il affectionnait à Sainte-Adresse.

Claude MONET also found again regatta he used to paint at Sainte-Adresse near Le Havre.

Claude MONET était fasciné par la pureté lumineuse des matins d'été.

Il la partage avec nous dans cette composition de rouges,de bleus et de verts.

Claude MONET was fascinated by the bright light of summer mornings.

He shared it with the spectator through this bright red, blue and green composition.
