Armand Guillaumin

This painter brought the Seine to life in bold colors and quick brushstrokes, working alongside the Impressionists in late-1800s France. His prints like *Vedere pe Sena* show sunlit bridges and riverbanks that feel almost touchable. You’ll notice how he layered thick paint to catch the light just right, a trick that makes the water shimmer on the page. Step from the print into his oil *Port of Rotterdam*, another view of riverside docks alive with steam and salt air.
