Artwork description
Claude Monet · Vétheuil · 1881 · W693
Tall clumps of red, yellow and blue flowers rise from the foreground to the Seine. Beyond the vegetation, the river, a boat and the opposite bank appear under a pink and blue sky. Signed and dated Claude Monet 81, this vertical oil on canvas measuring 92.1 × 73.3 cm is kept at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston under number 19.1313 and corresponds to Wildenstein 693.

Look at the work
The flowers occupy the lower two thirds and form a dense mass which seems to rise towards the viewer. A taller stem on the left responds to the bouquet of foliage in the center. The river only appears above this border.
Vermilion reds, orange-yellows and deep greens are laid in circular or short touches. The sky and water use more diffuse pinks, mauves and blues. This opposition separates the nearby garden from the atmospheric landscape.
The Seine is no longer the main subject: it becomes the distant calm before which the garden of Vétheuil asserts all its color and materiality.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The floral mass pushes the river and the sky upwards. This construction places the viewer almost inside the flowerbeds.
Nearby flowers are broad, contrasting and numerous; distant planes become smoother and paler. The change of touch replaces a drawn perspective.
The reds and yellows of the garden stand out against the mauves and blues of the Seine. Complementarity organizes the reading of the entire canvas.
Reference image
The unique Google Art Project image of 4,517 × 5,701 px has been converted into a real WebP of 2,377 × 3,000 px. It allows a detailed zoom on the flowers and the key.
It must remain dominant and not be reduced to give more space to the distant landscape.
This small horizontal element gives a scale to the river and subtly separates the garden from the opposite bank.
Reds, yellows and blues must remain irregular, with visible foliage between them, without becoming a uniform seedling.
Documented benchmarks
The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston documents Flower Beds at Vétheuil, oil on canvas from 1881, 92.1 × 73.3 cm, signed Claude Monet 81, inventory 19.1313 and Wildenstein catalog 693.
Monet obtained from the owner the possibility of cultivating the terraces going down towards the Seine and transformed the land into a pictorial motif.
Unlike W685, organized around an alley and a house, W693 brings the massifs closer to the edge of the canvas and lets the river appear above.
The red signature stands out in the clear sky and confirms the year of this campaign dedicated to the garden and the surroundings of Vétheuil.
