Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This regatta is all bright sea greens, white sails and blue sky, and a dull copy flattens it. Our Monet Regatta at Sainte Adresse print was graded against the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s own photograph, so the sea stays green, the sails stay white and the clouds keep their light.
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 bright greens and blues suit a living room, a coastal home or a boy’s bedroom. They look fresh with white, navy and sand, and a white or natural frame keeps the summer breeze.
About the painting
Sainte-Adresse, just outside Le Havre, was where Monet’s father lived. In the summer of 1867 Monet had no money, so he stayed with his father and his aunt, leaving Camille and their newborn son Jean in Paris.
That June he wrote that he was working on about twenty pictures: among the seascapes, he said, I am doing the regattas of Le Havre, with many figures on the beach and the harbour covered with small sails.
It was probably painted as a pair with The Beach at Sainte-Adresse, from almost the same spot: there a grey low tide and fishing boats, here a sunny regatta at high tide. It belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
This sunny regatta has a twin. And Claude Monet painted them both in the same summer, from almost the same spot.
It's 1867. Monet is twenty-six, and he has no money at all.
So he goes home to Sainte-Adresse, just outside Le Havre, where his father lives. He stays with his father and his aunt.
But he's left someone behind. In Paris, Camille is expecting their first child.
That June, he writes that he's working on about twenty pictures at once. Among the seascapes, he says, I am doing the regattas of Le Havre, with many figures on the beach and the harbour covered with small sails.
Here they are. The tide is high, the sun is out, and white sails race across the green sea, while well-dressed visitors watch from the beach.
Later that summer, their son Jean is born. Monet goes to Paris for the birth, and a few days later he's back on the coast.
The twin is The Beach at Sainte-Adresse. It's the same size, painted a few yards away, but on a grey day at low tide, with the fishing boats pulled up on the sand.
Today this one belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.
Sit on the beach with the crowd, and watch the boats go by.
Regatta at Sainte-Adresse. Claude Monet, 1867.
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.
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
