If you have ever marveled at an old painting with a clearly brush stroked sky and a gauzy color palette and a marvelous sense of whimsy and dream like beauty, chances are you may have been looking at a
framed Monet seascape artwork. These widely popular paintings from an even more popular artist possess an undeniable charm and appeal, which has kept them in the public eye for very many years, and often, makes the viewer feel as if they too are on vacation.
One work which stands out from many of the rest in the category of
framed Monet seascapes painting is “Impression, Sunrise, c. 1872.” As a comparatively early work in this subset of Monet’s career, you can see the heavy influence of the suggestive brush strokes and evocative palette choices hailing from the mixed disciplines of Impressionism and Expressionism that meld in this particular work of art.
“Meadow Road to Pourville,” though a drastically different style by the same painter, nonetheless encapsulates so much of what is instantly enchanting about framed Monet seascape paintings. It is bright and sunny, quaint and charming, and with enough texture and variation to draw the eye in to key focal points without losing the overall aesthetic of clean, bright palettes and soft edges that Impressionists such as Monet tend to favor.
“Argenteuil” and “Regatta at Argenteuil” are both utterly captivating pieces in the genre of framed Monet seascapes art, as well. The colorful boats and splashes of color against a hazy, dream-like sea makes a brilliant contrast in much the same way as a real sailboat might with the cerulean ocean, yet its realism is not tethered to clean details and exact renderings. Rather, it is something much more organic and evocative which holds the viewers attention and creates something familiar out of something somehow esoteric.
