The immensely talented and internationally acclaimed John Myatt has interpreted this enduring painting in a masterful hand-signed limited edition. In 1886, Monet reintroduced figurative elements, having turned away from including them in his landscape paintings for a couple of years.
Between 1887-1888, the artist returned to one of his earlier subjects undertaken at Argenteuil, having painted at least six large canvases depicting his partner Alice's daughters boating. Monet represents the figures as individuals rather than shadowy, light-bathed silhouettes, and they take on the fullness of a living entity.
The oblique angle and intense colours, reveals Monet’s influence of Japanese woodcuts. Much like Van Gogh, Monet admired Oriental works and had a collection of authentic Japanese works. Symbolist in its dreamy, ethereal atmosphere, “La Barque 1887” gives the impression of an enclosed and private world created through soft hues.

The British artist who starred in Sky Art's 'Fame in the Frame' and soon to be feature film about his artistic career, was involved in what Scotland Yard described as "the biggest art fraud of the 20th century". Now, he works with law enforcement to catch other fraudsters and produces his incredible series 'Genuine Fakes' where his astonishing knack for emulating the styles of history's best artists - from Vincent Van Gogh to Paul Cezanne - is harnessed into wonderfully realistic artworks that allow anyone to own and display their own "genuinely fake" Monet.
You can also purchase this piece in a set alongside The Waterlily Pond at Giverny.

Hand Embellished Limited-Edition Flatbed Giclée on Canvas
Given Castle Fine Art's expertise as UK's leading art retailer, we are committed to the highest standards specially regarding printing. Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork. The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye).
Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black. It is believed that a giclée will significantly outlast a lithographic print, keeping its vivid colour for up to 200 years.
