About
Theodore Robinson once confessed he “never (consciously) [had] any feeling but great pleasure and lightness in painting out-doors.” The subject of this painting is not really a village street with a house under repair. The true subject is the silvery light of a summer moon and its play with shadows. While visiting Robinson’s studio, Claude Monet voiced approval of the motif of the scaffolding and urged his American protégé to finish the picture.
