Theodore Robinson
Valley of the Seine, from the Hills of Giverny, 1892
Robinson's work was strongly influenced by his friendship with the French Impressionist Claude Monet. From 1887 to 1892, the two often painted together in Giverny, the small village northwest of Paris where Monet had settled in 1883. Like his French mentor, Robinson was intensely interested in capturing the effects of changing light and color on the landscape. The sunny Valley of the Seine is one of three canvases he painted of the same expansive view from the hills above Giverny. |
