Catalogue Note
In 1878, Claude Monet retreated to the small village of Vetheuil due to financial hardships. Located near Giverny on the Seine riverbank, it quickly became the inspiration behind the artist's most prolific period and he spent five years in its environs. During the first two years alone, Monet created no less than 178 scenes of the village.
