L'œuvre en bref
Sailboats on the Seine at Argenteuil by Gustave Caillebotte is a painting that embodies the grace and tranquillity of river navigation. The painting shows sailing boats with white sails gliding along the calm waters of the Seine, under a slightly cloudy sky that lets in a soft light. The elegance of the boats and the delicacy with which they are manoeuvred by the sailors are enhanced by the perspective chosen by Caillebotte, which places the viewer at the height of the water, almost on board the nearest sailing boat.
The artist, a master of light and movement, uses fluid brushstrokes to capture the shimmering reflections on the water, giving life and texture to the surface of the river. This work exudes the serenity of a sunny day, and reflects Caillebotte's passion for sailing, a popular pastime in Argenteuil during this period.
