"Break-Up of the Ice" (French: "La Débâcle" or "Les Glaçons") is a series of oil paintings by the French Impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet. Created during the winters of 1889 and 1890, these works capture the dramatic changes in the landscape of the Seine River near Vétheuil, where Monet lived at the time. The series reflects Monet's fascination with the transient effects of light and color, as well as his dedication to capturing the same scene under different weather and light conditions.

The paintings depict the thawing of the ice on the Seine, showcasing Monet's skill in rendering the reflections, textures, and movement of the melting ice floes. The "Break-Up of the Ice" series is notable for its vivid portrayal of natural phenomena and the artist's ability to convey the atmosphere and mood of the winter scene. Monet's use of color and brushwork in these works is characteristic of his mature style, where he increasingly focused on the surface patterns and variations in the environment.

This series is part of a broader trend in Monet's oeuvre, where he produced several series focused on specific motifs, such as haystacks, poplars, the Rouen Cathedral, and water lilies. By revisiting the same subject under different conditions, Monet explored the perceptual nuances of light and the passage of time, which became central themes in his work.

The "Break-Up of the Ice" paintings are held in various art museums and collections around the world. They continue to be celebrated for their technical innovation and their contribution to the development of Impressionism, as well as for their profound influence on the generations of artists that followed.
