The Compromise Monet Would Never Repeat

This is not a painting. It's a regretted compromise. Vétheuil 1880. Camille is gone. Money is nowhere to be seen. On top of that, this winter is the most brutal France has seen in a long time. Tough enough to doubt. Tough enough to accept what he always rejected: submit a painting to the "official" Salon. Let the ones he had no respect for judge his work. Even worse: make the painting safe enough to be accepted. They accepted it, then hung it where no one would see it. Monet vowed never to go back that way. He didn't. 🛒 Get it here: https://art.ecoartlab.store/collections/claude-monet-frame-t
