Well known as a painter of modern Paris, Caillebotte was also interested in rural scenes. This painting shows a view not far from his home, looking across the Seine toward Argenteuil. Factories appear in the distance, but their chimneys barely intrude upon the sky, their smoke blending with the clouds. Caillebotte’s technique is richly varied—the grassy riverbank that dominates the foreground is thickly painted, while the sky and water are described with thin, fluid strokes of the artist’s brush.
