works debut publicly on April 16, at Sotheby\u2019s Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two rare paintings by Claude Monet have resurfaced after more than a century, set to headline Sotheby\u2019s Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction in Paris later this month. Their reappearance marks a significant moment for collectors and scholars alike, as both works exemplify Monet\u2019s mastery during pivotal phases of his career.<\/p>\n<p>The first painting, \u201cLes Iles de Port-Villez\u201d (1897), captures the Seine near Giverny with Monet\u2019s signature interplay of light and water. Painted during his mature period, the canvas reflects his fascination with shifting atmospheres, as the river\u2019s surface dissolves into shimmering reflections. As for the second painting, \u201cV\u00e9theuil, Effet du Matin\u201d (1878), belongs to an earlier chapter, when Monet was living in V\u00e9theuil and experimenting with morning light. Its delicate brushwork and luminous palette embody the Impressionist pursuit of fleeting natural effects, offering a glimpse into the artist\u2019s evolving vision.\n<\/p>\n<p>Both works have remained in the same private family collection for over a century, making this their first appearance on the public market since they were originally acquired. Together, these works are estimated to fetch between \u20ac12 million \u2013 \u20ac18 million EUR (approx. $13 million \u2013 $19.5 million USD ), representing a significant moment for the Impressionist market in France.\n<\/p>\n<p>The paintings will be offered at Sotheby\u2019s Paris on April 16, 2026, as part of the prestigious evening sale. For more details regarding the paintings and the Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction, head over to Sotheby\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699284\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Keith Haring\u2019s Rare Art Cars to Land in NYC&#8217;s West Village\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699598\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Dozie Kanu Pays Homage to the Architecture of Memory in &#8216;The Second Shadow&#8217;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699616\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Artist Ariana Papademetropoulos Installs a 14-Foot Aquarium in Paris\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

works debut publicly on April 16, at Sotheby\u2019s Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two rare paintings by Claude Monet have resurfaced after more than a century, set to headline Sotheby\u2019s Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction in Paris later this month. Their reappearance marks a significant moment for collectors and scholars alike, as both works exemplify Monet\u2019s mastery during pivotal phases of his career.<\/p>\n<p>The first painting, \u201cLes Iles de Port-Villez\u201d (1897), captures the Seine near Giverny with Monet\u2019s signature interplay of light and water. Painted during his mature period, the canvas reflects his fascination with shifting atmospheres, as the river\u2019s surface dissolves into shimmering reflections. As for the second painting, \u201cV\u00e9theuil, Effet du Matin\u201d (1878), belongs to an earlier chapter, when Monet was living in V\u00e9theuil and experimenting with morning light. Its delicate brushwork and luminous palette embody the Impressionist pursuit of fleeting natural effects, offering a glimpse into the artist\u2019s evolving vision.\n<\/p>\n<p>Both works have remained in the same private family collection for over a century, making this their first appearance on the public market since they were originally acquired. Together, these works are estimated to fetch between \u20ac12 million \u2013 \u20ac18 million EUR (approx. $13 million \u2013 $19.5 million USD ), representing a significant moment for the Impressionist market in France.\n<\/p>\n<p>The paintings will be offered at Sotheby\u2019s Paris on April 16, 2026, as part of the prestigious evening sale.

works debut publicly on April 16, at Sotheby\u2019s Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two rare paintings by Claude Monet have resurfaced after more than a century, set to headline Sotheby\u2019s Art Moderne et Contemporain Evening Auction in Paris later this month. Their reappearance marks a significant moment for collectors and scholars alike, as both works exemplify Monet\u2019s mastery during pivotal phases of his career.<\/p>\n<p>The first painting, \u201cLes Iles de Port-Villez\u201d (1897), captures the Seine near Giverny with Monet\u2019s signature interplay of light and water. Painted during his mature period, the canvas reflects his fascination with shifting atmospheres, as the river\u2019s surface dissolves into shimmering reflections. As for the second painting, \u201cV\u00e9theuil, Effet du Matin\u201d (1878), belongs to an earlier chapter, when Monet was living in V\u00e9theuil and experimenting with morning light. Its delicate brushwork and luminous palette embody the Impressionist pursuit of fleeting natural effects, offering a glimpse into the artist\u2019s evolving vision.\n<\/p>\n<p>Both works have remained in the same private family collection for over a century, making this their first appearance on the public market since they were originally acquired. Together, these works are estimated to fetch between \u20ac12 million \u2013 \u20ac18 million EUR (approx. $13 million \u2013 $19.5 million USD ), representing a significant moment for the Impressionist market in France.\n<\/p>\n<p>The paintings will be offered at Sotheby\u2019s Paris on April 16, 2026, as part of the prestigious evening sale.
