The Batignolles Trench - Claude Monet
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
The Batignolles Trench is by Claude Monet, the undisputed master of Impressionism. The painting depicts a scene of urban transformation in Paris, highlighting the contrast between manual labour and the elegance of 19th-century Parisian architecture. We see workers at work, digging a trench, while majestic buildings loom in the background. Monet's colour palette, oscillating between dark hues and bursts of light, is characteristic of the Impressionist movement, which aimed to capture the instantaneity and variations of light. This work bears witness not only to the modernisation of Paris, but also to Monet's ability to fuse reality and emotion, tradition and progress, in a harmonious and dynamic composition.
