Description:
Monet returned to a war-torn France further depleted by the bloody civil war over the Paris Commune. Late that year he settled at Argenteuil, a growing industrial town and boating center on the Seine to the west of Paris, which was to be his home until 1878. From 1872 to 1876 Argenteuil became the hub of Impressionist painting, with other artists joining him. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
