Claude Monet's "La Grenouilliere"


La Grenouillere Claude Monet.jpg


On Page 38 in Investigating Modern Art I've always loved this painting. While this book focuses on modern art and this is a realistic painting, I enjoy it because of the historical look to it. History has always been my favorite subject so I really like seeing the different time period in this painting. I think all art is really pretty but, this realistic painting has to be one of my favorites because it looks like it takes place during the summer, my favorite season, and also it just looks happy. It seems like a joyful afternoon on the lake and I always spend my summers swimming as well. This is a painting I would love to hang in my house because of the time period and the positiveness in it.
