This is another attempt at applying the 'Lake' applet to a magnificent piece of art, in this case one of beautiful water reflections in the original work. The painting is by French impressionist Claude Oscar Monet (1840-1926) and is entitled 'Le bateau atelier' (The Boat Studio), an oil on canvas, of 72 x 59.8 cm (28 3/8 x 23 1/2 in) in size. It was painted in 1876. The original painting is in The Barnes Foundation Collection, in Merion, Pennsylvania.

The premier art site, in my view, is Carol Gerten's Fine Art (CGFA), the work of Carol Gerten-Jackson. Do visit it. It truly is magnificent. But this particular painting does not seem to be among the many Monet works on Carol's site. I found this particular image, in fact, on the Hebus.com wallpaper site but it is available from many other sources also. Now, I usually like to research the artist and provide my own biographical notes. Since I have not yet completed that research, you might visit the 'Monet' biography on Carol's site, available here (Japan) or here (USA). And do visit Artcyclopedia for links to many galleries and sites that feature Monet's work.
