- Coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition, the sale of Claude Monet’s Matinée sur la Seine, temps net (1897) achieved £14,397,500, demonstrating the appetite for masterpieces above £10 million in Christie’s unique auction category - placing artists across periods in dialogue with one another. Offered at auction for the first time in 45 years, it belongs to the artist’s celebrated series ‘Mornings on the Seine’, a cycle of 21 canvases made across two summers, in which he captured the same view of the river at Giverny from his bateau-atelier (boat studio).

it's shocking that gorgeous Monet went for £12.5M and an Andy Warhol fetches $100 million.... There's something seriously wrong.
Two words, Tax Evasion.
@@scarywinja I wish I could evade my taxes
That’s a “battle”? Clickbait
merci
Lord.... Why call that a battle?!?!..... It started at 8 million pounds and only got up to and sold for 12 million pounds?!?!...
The article is clearly trying to create some hype over the transaction. Such transactions have been linked to clever covers for money laundering.
@@leeboriack8054 That is totally fair and understandable for sure!!
I think my issue was their choice of the word "Battle" to describe this sale of the painting at the auction!!
Yes it's a lot of money for sure.... BUT... what was like 3-5 bids in total for the item is the farthest thing from what anyone would think or consider a "Battle" !!??!!
Where it seems that here is a battle? I don’t understand these comments.. however this painting is beautiful 👍
Big money buys big Monet.
Would the song lyric line,
"For the price of a hospital wing.",
have any sway in all of this?
Beautiful painting all the same,tho'!
Beautiful.
