Anglers on the Seine at Poissy (French:Pêcheurs dans la Seine à Poissy) is an 1882 painting by the French ImpressionistClaude Monet. It was acquired in 1942 by theKunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna but was later, as part of a reorganisation of their artwork, transferred to its current home in theSchloss Belvedere in the same city.
The work is one of only three images ofPoissy,[1] which lies some 25 km (16 mi) north-west of Paris, that Monet produced during the two years (December, 1881 to April, 1883) he lived there. With his companionAlice Hoschedé and their combined families, he occupied the capacious Villa Saint Louis overlooking his beloved River Seine, but nevertheless found the town offered him little of interest from an artistic point of view.[2]
