Painting of the Month

Monet, 'Bathers at La Grenouillère', 1869.

Monet captures this popular bathing place in loosely applied patches of colour. This spontaneous way of working became the basis of Impressionist painting - so why did Monet dismiss it as 'a bad sketch'?

Special Feature: Reflections on the Water
