Visiting artwork: The Sheltered Path, an oil on canvas from 1873 by Claude Monet.
Claude Monet
Mary Cassatt’s Lydia at a Tapestry Frame has been absent from the Johnson gallery while it travels to Philadelphia and San Francisco for the exhibition Mary Cassatt at Work. While it is gone, there will be an exciting visiting artwork in its place: The Sheltered Path, an oil on canvas from 1873 by Claude Monet. Be sure to check out this fascinating landscape by one of the most well-known artists in history.
In The Sheltered Path, Monet purposefully rejects a picturesque landscape. Instead, he depicts an unremarkable part of the Parisian suburb of Argenteuil. A man walks alone down a dusty road where there are no traces of human habitation to mark his location. Painted a year before this painting style would be dubbed “impressionist” by an art critic, this artwork reveals an interest in capturing the energy, color, and motion of a simple rural landscape.
