The Met Store Small Accessories*Monet Morning on the Seine Silk Pocket Square

Gifts for art lovers, inspired by The Met collection.

This serene scene pays tribute to Claude Monet’s (French, 1840–1926) Morning on the Seine near Giverny (1897), a tranquil landscape in The Met collection. The Museum’s painting belongs to Monet’s Morning on the Seine series, which he started in 1896 and finished in 1897. After patiently searching for prime views along the river, Monet painted these pictures from a boat that he converted into a floating studio. He would venture out at dawn to paint the changing effects of light as the sun came up. He then lined up the canvases on easels in his studio to complete them together as a series.
