The artist, Claude Monet, created interesting textures in the painting "The Bridge at Argenteuil" by experimenting with various brushstrokes. Monet was known for his innovative techniques involving rapid, impasto brushstrokes that capture the essence of the subject rather than the minute details. Through his different brushwork, he was able to evoke the movement of water, the foliage of the trees, and the activity of the scene, contributing to the development of the Impressionist style.
