Field of Yellow Irises at Giverny (Champ d’Iris Jaunes à Giverny), 1887 by Claude Monet

Field of Yellow Irises at Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1887 captures a sweep of golden yellow flag irises blooming across a meadow near the painter’s newly adopted home, with a soft band of trees and an overcast sky closing the horizon. The yellow iris was one of the first flowering motifs Monet cultivated at Giverny after settling there in 1883, and this canvas stands as a direct forerunner of the celebrated garden paintings of his later career. Rendered in loose, atmospheric brushwork, the field’s color dissolves gently into the muted grey-green distance.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1887.
