Poppy Field by Artist Claude Monet
Rated 0 out of 5
(0)
Highlights:
When he returned from England in 1871, Monet settled in Argenteuil and lived there until 1878. These years were a time of fulfilment for him. Supported by his dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, Monet found in the region around his home the bright landscapes which enabled him to explore the potential of plain-air painting.
He showed Poppy Field to the public at the first Impressionist exhibition held in the photographer Nadar’s disused studio in 1874. Now one of the world’s most famous paintings, it conjures up the vibrant atmosphere of a stroll through the fields on a summer’s day.
Monet diluted the contours and constructed a colourful rhythm with blobs of paint starting from a sprinkling of poppies; the disproportionately large patches in the foreground indicate the primacy he put on visual impression. A step towards abstraction had been taken.
In the landscape, a mother and child pair in the foreground and another in the background are merely a pretext for drawing the diagonal line that structures the painting. Two separate colour zones are established, one dominated by red, the other by a bluish green. The young woman with the sunshade and the child in the foreground are probably the artist’s wife, Camille, and their son Jean.

The Water Lily Pond by French Painter Claude_Monet
Rated 0 out of 5
(0)
Highlights:
Among all the works created by Claude Monet The Pond of Water Lilies, Green Harmony is one of the magnificent paintings made by this Impressionist artist. The work was created in 1899, its dimensions are 89.5×100 and it is currently kept at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, but in fact this painting is available in different versions.
The painting belongs to the series “The Water Lilies of Monet” and like other works that have the same subject, it was created during the long stay of the painter in Jeu de Paume.
As it is well known, for about 40 years the painter has been spending a lot of time in his garden in Giverny, a magical place built in Japanese style, which housed many exotic plants and which were an inspiration for Claude Monet in his continuous search for harmony between colours, study of light and improvement of pictorial technique in general.
In the painting “Water Lily Pond, Green Harmony” you can see some trees in the garden of the painter and above all, the stagnant ground that housed the water lilies, a pond that was crossed thanks to the wooden bridge that Monet had it built.
