Artwork description
Claude Monet · Lavacourt · winter 1880 · W576
An orange sun descends above Lavacourt and projects a column of red and yellow reflections into the Seine. The village is reduced to a blue-green silhouette in the mist; in the foreground, two dark banks frame the river, with large bare trees on the right. Signed and dated 1880, this monumental oil on canvas measuring 101.5 × 150 cm is kept at the Petit Palais under the number PPP439 and corresponds to Wildenstein 576.

Look at the work
The sun is placed almost in the center, slightly above the village line. Its saturated color contrasts with the turquoise, blues and mauves that envelop the houses and the distant shore.
In the water, the light breaks into short orange, pink and yellow lines rather than a continuous column. The dark banks of the foreground curve towards this light area and lead the eye directly to the village of Lavacourt.
As in Impression, rising sun, a small hot disk is enough to reorganize a vast cold atmosphere; here, its reflection becomes the axis of the river in winter.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
At 150 cm wide, the canvas gives a monumental scale to a silent scene. The long lines of the river and the village fully exploit this horizontal relationship.
The entire landscape remains blue, green and mauve, while the brightest orange is reserved for the sun and its reflections. This economy makes the light immediately intense.
The left bush and the right wooded point form two close masses. Their asymmetry opens a corridor of water and prevents the central sun from freezing the composition.
Reference image
The only image is the official visual CC0 of Paris Musées showing the work in its frame. The file of 3,230 × 2,160 px is limited to 3,000 × 2,006 px then encoded as a real WebP, without oversampling.
It should not become too large or diffuse an artificial halo. Its intensity comes precisely from its relative sharpness in a foggy atmosphere.
The houses remain blended into blue-green. Detailing them as an architectural view would lose the winter effect and distance.
The column of the sun is interrupted by turquoise and dark blue lines. This fragmentation renders the movement of water and the vibration of light.
Documented benchmarks
Paris Musées documents Sunset over the Seine in Lavacourt, winter effect, oil on canvas signed and dated 1880, 101.5 × 150 cm, inventory PPP439 and Wildenstein 576.
Monet paints the village from the surroundings of his residence in Vétheuil. The panorama shows the Seine as a vast space between the two banks.
The Petit Palais notice indicates that Monet undertook around twenty paintings while observing the gradual transformation of the river at the end of winter.
The painting enters the Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Paris under number PPP439 and is today exhibited at the Petit Palais.
