Monet is on the move 🍃 In 'The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil', Monet depicts a tranquil scene of a winter day on the outskirts of the small suburban town of Argenteuil, not far from Paris. Although the town was already partly industrialised and a popular location for sailing and leisure boating, Monet only hints at this developing bustle with a few scattered buildings behind a screen of trees. Instead, he focuses on this quiet moment by the river. Monet's tranquil scene is travelling to numerous locations across the UK as part of the National Gallery's Masterpiece Tour, offering new ways for audiences to experience their national collection. You can now see the work at @south_shields_museum as part of their exhibition, 'Monet: In the Presence of Nature', until 25 March. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to to learn more about this year's Masterpiece Tour. #ArtHistory #Monet #NationalGallery

Can you guess the #BiggerPicture? 🤔 This picture was painted around 1540, perhaps for an acquaintance of the artist at the court of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. It is close in style to the frescoes he painted in the Chapel of Eleonora of Toledo in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to find out more. #ArtHistory #NationalGallery
