"Barges on the Seine at Bercy" is a watercolor painting by the Scottish artist Arthur Melville (1855–1904), known for his distinctive and innovative approach to color and light in watercolor. Melville, a member of the Glasgow Boys, was celebrated for his ability to capture the effects of sunlight and atmosphere in his landscapes and scenes of everyday life.

The painting depicts a tranquil scene on the River Seine in Bercy, a neighborhood in the southeast of Paris, France. It is characterized by Melville's loose, fluid brushstrokes and his masterful use of the watercolor medium to convey the reflections and movement of water. The composition likely features the working barges that were a common sight on the Seine during the late 19th century, reflecting the industrial and commercial activity of the river at that time.

Melville's technique involved applying pure pigment directly onto the paper, often leaving parts of the composition to the viewer's imagination. This method, sometimes referred to as the "blottesque" technique, allowed him to achieve a sense of immediacy and spontaneity in his work. "Barges on the Seine at Bercy" exemplifies this approach, with its vibrant colors and dynamic representation of light playing on the water's surface.

The painting is significant as an example of Melville's work during his time in France, where he was influenced by French Impressionism and the pioneering watercolor techniques of his contemporaries. It captures the essence of the period's artistic experimentation and the changing landscape of Paris as it underwent modernization.

"Barges on the Seine at Bercy" is part of Melville's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation as one of the most innovative watercolorists of his time. His works are held in various public and private collections, and this particular painting continues to be appreciated for its technical brilliance and evocative portrayal of the Seine's bustling life.
