In the 1890s Monet painted multiple versions of the same subject under different lighting conditions. The Seine at Port-Villez, one of many paintings of the River Seine near his Giverny home in northern France, typifies this approach. Here, physical detail is kept to a minimum and the painting’s surface is covered with small, individual brushstrokes.
