The perfect balance of light and color is evident in the oil on canvas The Bridge at Argenteuil. Rays of light, which Monet achieved in the painting by using pure colors on the canvas, dominate and surround the forms that appear in the painting. The play between the short strokes of the brush on the waves and the larger areas of color in the painting is masterful.
