Poppy Field (Giverny)

Claude Monet (French) 1890/91 In July 1890, Claude Monet initiated the creation of four nearly identical canvases depicting poppy fields near his residence in Giverny. While Monet didn't label these as a formal series, in contrast to the extensive set of 25 paintings featuring stacks of wheat he started in the same summer, these works reveal his emerging inclination to work on multiple canvases simultaneously. Notably, they exhibit a more uniform touch compared to the freely brushed landscapes of his earlier career, showcasing surfaces with a tapestry-like materiality. This shift in approach reflects Monet's evolving artistic interests and experimentation during this period. Make a statement in any room with this framed poster, printed on thick matte paper.
