Romantic Monet-Inspired Wall Art – A Love Letter from the Banks of the Seine
From the series: Love Letters from Lost Cities
In this collection, forgotten corners of the world speak through imagined letters as would be written by Claude Monet. Experience fragments of memory and longing wrapped in vintage art. This one was written from a quiet riverbank in 1880s France, where the water remembers everything…
📝 The Letter:
My dearest,
The river has not moved since you left.
Morning light rests gently on the water, as if afraid to disturb the memory of you. I walk along the Seine, where we once paused, the air heavy with honeysuckle and silence. Vétheuil remains unchanged — a little chapel glinting on the hill, the rhythm of oars far in the distance.
The world paints itself in your absence.
I think of your laugh — how it rippled like the current. I think of your hand in mine, how the warmth lingered longer than the summer itself.
I write this only to say: if you ever return, the river will be waiting. So will I.
Always,
Yours in the quiet light,— Claude.
✨ This letter was inspired by Claude Monet’s 1880 painting, Banks of the Seine, Vétheuil.
