Background
Monet traveled to the Netherlands on the advice of fellow painter Charles-François Daubigny, who highly recommended that Monet study the splendor of the Achterzaan river. The paintings Monet produced on his trip (often referred to as his Dutch landscapes), including Houses, were well received by his fellow impressionists.[1]
