Monet Paintings Sell For €16 Million

One work, Vetheuil, Morning Effect (1901), valued between €6-8 million, reflects key elements of Impressionism, particularly the depiction of light on water.

A second painting, Les Iles de Port-Villez (1883), sold for €6.45 million, exceeding initial estimates.

The auction house noted that both works had remained in private collections for nearly a century and depict scenes of the Seine near Giverny, where Monet lived.

The sales coincides with a global commemoration marking the centenary of Monet’s death, highlighting the enduring appeal of his work among museums and collectors.
