The Bridge at Argenteuil by Claude Monet

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/61374-bridge-argenteuil

From a distance of ten feet or so, Monet’s brushstrokes blend to yield a convincing view of the Seine and the pleasure boats that drew tourists to Argenteuil. Up close, however, each dab of paint is distinct, and the scene dissolves into a mosaic of paint—brilliant, unblended tones of blue, red, green, yellow.
