Join Sotheby’s expert Etienne Hellman on an exclusive pilgrimage to the very landscapes that inspired Claude Monet. We retrace the artist’s path along the Seine, first by boat to the spot where he painted Les Îles de Port-Villez (1883), and then by car to the cliffs of Vétheuil, the setting for Vétheuil, effet du matin (1901), two masterpieces never seen in their original vibrant colors for over 50 years. This immersive journey reveals how the changing light and the river itself shaped these two masterpieces across two distinct eras of Impressionism. From the quiet waters of 1883 to the vibrant morning of 1901, discover the hidden angles and atmospheric secrets behind these exceptional works. These two masterpieces will be part of the Modern & Contemporary Art auction the 16 April 2026, in Paris.
