Square in Argenteuil is a 1892 oil by Gustave Caillebotte, a Impressionism work, held at Hammer Museum.
The painting shows a quiet square in Argenteuil, a town just outside Paris. There are tall trees with bright orange leaves, and a few people walking or sitting on benches. The sun is shining, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The scene is peaceful, with no signs of hustle and bustle. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to bring the scene to life. You can almost feel the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the shade. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of artist Gustave Caillebotte.
