Windmill at Zaandam

Windmill at Zaandam or Windmill and Boat at Zaandam is an 1871 oil painting by Claude Monet. Since 1986 it has been in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.[1]

Claude Monet and his family fled to London to avoid the Franco-Prussian War. At its end, he returned to France, but took a detour via Zaandam in the Netherlands on the recommendation of Charles-François Daubigny, spending five months there and producing about 20 paintings of the flat landscape thereabouts.[2]
