Sunset at Giverny (Coucher de Soleil à Giverny), 1886 by Claude Monet

Sunset at Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1886, depicts the countryside near the village that would soon become Monet's permanent home, its fields and trees glowing under the warm colors of the evening sky. Monet had settled at Giverny in 1883, and paintings like this one mark his growing fascination with capturing a single landscape under shifting atmospheric conditions, a practice that would culminate in his celebrated series paintings of the 1890s. The rich golds and violets of the setting sun anticipate the color harmonies he would return to throughout his Giverny years.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1886.
