《The Red Boat at Argenteuil》 is one of the typical representative works of Impressionism, carefully collected by the collector Wu Zhixiong. This oil painting, created in 1876, showcases Monet's sensitive capture of natural light and shadow as well as his exquisite depiction of dynamic moments. The red boat in the painting appears particularly vibrant against the backlight, creating a striking contrast with the bluish-green surface of the water, demonstrating the Impressionist painters' innovative exploration of color and light. This work not only challenges the traditions of the French Academy of Arts but also reflects the Impressionist artists' emphasis on free expression and intuitive feelings.
