Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This painting is snow whites, warm browns and pale blue, and a cheap copy greys the snow. Our Claude Monet Boulevard Saint-Denis print was graded from a high-resolution master so the light on the snow stays bright.
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
16x12 inch, 20x16 inch, 24x18 inch, 30x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
Its wide shape suits a living room, a bedroom or a hallway. The whites and browns look lovely with white, sand and natural oak, and a white or natural oak frame suits it.
About the painting
In the winter of 1874–75 Claude Monet painted eighteen snow scenes at Argenteuil, near his home on the Boulevard Saint-Denis.
Sunlight pushes through a light snowfall. The falling flakes and the figures with umbrellas recall Japanese woodblock prints.
It belonged to the Boston collector Peter Chardon Brooks and his family. Richard Saltonstall gave it to the Museum of Fine Arts.
Snow covers a village road. People walk under umbrellas, past houses, while a pale sun shines through the falling flakes.
In 1874 Claude Monet signed a lease on a newly built house in Argenteuil, on the Boulevard Saint-Denis.
Between 1874 and 1875 he painted eighteen snow scenes at Argenteuil, all near his home.
In this one, sunlight pushes through a light snowfall. He made a sketch first, then this finished picture, probably in January or February 1875.
The falling snow and the figures with umbrellas recall Japanese woodblock prints.
In 1888 it belonged to Henri Kapferer in Paris. Later it went to the Boston collector Peter Chardon Brooks and his family.
Much later, Richard Saltonstall gave it to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Look at the people with umbrellas, and then up at the pale winter sun behind the snow.
Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, in Winter. Claude Monet, 1875.
Faithful to the original, and made to be felt on your wall.
We compare every work with the original as we grade it, keeping the artist’s colours true while bringing back their depth and glow. Every mark stays the artist’s own.
Printed to order on cotton canvas or fine art paper, then framed if you chose a frame, in 1 to 3 business days.
It arrives 5 to 12 business days later, tracked and free anywhere in the US. Framed pieces come ready to hang.
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
