With its sensitive description of the changing effects of light on water, the views of the Seine at Vétheuil indeed presage the last great series of Monet’s career: the waterlilies at Giverny. ‘Les Bords de la Seine près de Vétheuil’ belongs to an important series of works created by the artist depicting the landscape around the village where he lived and worked between 1878 and 1881. Featured in our Tour de France selling exhibition, this work along with others celebrate the rich diversity and unparalleled beauty of art from France as seen through the eyes of some of the world’s most accomplished artists. Tour de France: A Selling Exhibition is open online until August 31. Tour de France
