Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1894 · former inv. 22.59 · W1386
Vernon unfolds under a clear light, but the sun produces no dry outline. The collegiate church, the houses, the trees and the hillside come together in bluish greens, mauves and light pinks. The Seine doubles this landscape in long horizontal vibrations which occupy the entire foreground.
Look at the work
The tower of the Notre-Dame collegiate church rises to the left of the center, above an almost continuous bank. The trees and houses lead towards a hillside which rises gently to the right. The water occupies almost the lower half and takes up the silhouette, expanding it towards the viewer.
Warm tones are concentrated on roofs, walls and some passages of reflection. Greens dominate the bank while blues and purples cool the river. Monet avoids harsh contrasts: the solar sensation comes from the juxtaposition of light colors rather than bright white.
W1386 combines clarity and softness: the sun reveals Vernon without separating the church, the trees and their moving image in the water.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
Monet places the viewer facing Vernon, on the other side of the Seine. This distance brings together the collegiate church, the houses and the relief in a single panoramic strip. Reproduction must preserve the breathing of the river and not artificially raise the horizon.
In the 1894 series, Monet observes the city under very different conditions. Here, the atmosphere is clear and the colors more assertive than in The Church of Vernon, fog. However, the architecture remains flexible, because it is built by the touch and not by a hard design.
The bank does not repeat itself identically in the water. Vertical shapes fragment into horizontal bands of blue, green, purple and pink. It is this transformation that creates the vibration of the foreground and the unity of the composition.
Reference image
The single reference image measures 768 × 535 px. It remains at its native definition and has been converted to a real WebP, without artificial enlargement or added border.
The collegiate church forms the main accent, but the masses of trees partially absorb it. The right hillside balances this vertical and gently closes the panorama.
The colors respond to each other between the city and the Seine. Salmon tones give warmth to the buildings, while blues and mauves establish atmospheric depth.
The brush suggests more detail around the roofs and tower. In the water, the marks lengthen and overlap, producing a steady movement without making the surface uniform.
Documented benchmarks
These benchmarks concern the Wildenstein 1386 version, formerly inventoried at 22.59 at the Brooklyn Museum and sold at Sotheby's in 2020.
This oil on canvas from 1894 measures 65.7 × 92.7 cm. The Wildenstein catalog records it under number 1386. It is signed and dated "Claude Monet 94" at the bottom right.
Long kept at the Brooklyn Museum under number 22.59, the work was returned to the rights holders of Henry and Hertha Bromberg, then offered during the sale on December 8, 2020. It now belongs to a private collection.
Monet worked in 1894 on several views of the collegiate church and the shore. Each canvas retains a related framing, but modifies the visibility of the church, the density of the reflection and the general temperature according to time and time.
