Boulevard des Capucines -
Claude Monet Oil Painting


Monet expresses his fascination with the rebuilding of Paris in 1873, alive with its happy colorful crowds with red balloons that thronged the streets. We are warmed by his luminous play of light and his many colors of snow - dashes of inspiration. "Never before has the elusiveness of movement been caught and held in its fluidity as in this extraordinary Boulevard des Capucines," says a critic of the time.

    Tips for Choosing Art Work for Your Home

    When shopping for art for your living room, here are a few things to keep in mind before you buy an original painting, artist reproduction or a framed art print.

    Choose an artwork piece that compliments the color scheme and mood of your rooms current decor.

    If you room has a theme (i.e. modern, shabby chic, country or sophisticated) make sure the art print's theme and design you pick supports the same theme as you room.

    With any artwork from expensive original artwork to an inexpensive art print, framing is an important step to have the art be appreciated and make a statement. Poorly framed art tends to look cheap and neglected no matter how much you spent.

    And lastly, make sure your art pieces do not come into contact with direct sunlight without UV protective glass to protect the colors in your artwork from fading over time.
