Mouth of the Seine is a 1865 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a river mouth, with a few boats and a lighthouse in the distance. The sky is filled with clouds, and the water is choppy, with waves crashing against the shore. In the foreground, a small boat is visible, with people on board. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye to the distant lighthouse. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Claude Monet, who was known for his Impressionist landscapes and seascapes.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
