Which river did Claude Monet repeatedly paint near Argenteuil?

Claude Monet repeatedly painted the Seine near Argenteuil.

Monet lived in Argenteuil from 1871 to 1878, a productive period when he painted river scenes, bridges, boats, gardens, and suburban leisure. The town stood on the Seine northwest of Paris and was accessible by the expanding railway network.

The river gave Monet changing reflections, skies, and traffic to observe outdoors. Works from this period include The Railway Bridge at Argenteuil and Regatta at Argenteuil, which show modern life alongside the natural landscape.

Argenteuil is sometimes confused with Giverny because both places are strongly linked to Monet. They represent different stages: Argenteuil belongs to his early Impressionist maturity, while Giverny became the setting for his later garden and Water Lilies projects.
