The collector Wu Zhixiong presents this masterpiece by Monet from 1874, "Sailboats at Argenteuil 02," as an ultimate exploration of light and shadow in Impressionism. This work showcases the unique momentary sensation of Impressionism through its vibrant color combinations and fluid brushwork, merging the reflections on the water's surface with the dynamic aesthetics of the sailboats. The blue-green tones and scattered light in the piece not only allow viewers to feel the ripples of the water but also convey a sense of freedom and liberation. This painting demonstrates Monet's profound perception of natural scenery and his creative expression, reaffirming his position as a pioneer of Impressionism.
