This brilliant Monet reproduction of Argenteuil, it’s gleaming red boats casting their shadows onto blue water, was painted near the bridge at Argenteuil where the local yachtsmen were in the habit of overhauling their boats. It is possible that Monet painted Regatta at Argenteuil from his ‘floating studio’, enabling him to take in the two banks of the Seine at once.

Monet had dreamed of possessing his own boat-studio ever since he saw Daubigny’s ‘Bottin’, which the landscapist used to move easily from one site to another along the River Oise. Soon after moving to Argenteuil, Monet bought a flat-bottomed wherry and had a carpenter construct a tall cabin where he could paint sheltered from the sun, rain and cold. A separate area at the back was covered with a stripped awning. Monet was very fond of his boat and painted it on several occasions, as too did Manet when he came to visit. Later, when Monet moved to Vétheuil and then to Poissy, he took it with him. It is likely that it survived even into the Giverny area.

Argenteuil is one of the most finished of all the series of sailing boats. It was started from life but undoubtedly completed in the studio, judging by the care taken over the details of the craft. There is no indication that Monet ever exhibited Regatta at Argenteuil, and no record of it until 1921, when it was purchased by the American painter Romaine Brooks. She was a portraitist who painted society people and fashionable writers in a palette restricted to greys, whites and blacks.

Argenteuil was subsequently sold at auction to Madame Jean Walter, who left it to the state, together with the rest of her magnificent collection. By this route one of the masterpieces from Monet’s Argenteuil period found its way to the Orangerie, where it is exhibited in conjunction with the major Waterlillies sequence.
