Grainstack, Sunset (Meule, soleil couchant), c. 1891 by Claude Monet

Grainstack, Sunset, by Claude Monet Seen from close range, a single grainstack glows deep red and violet against a blazing yellow-orange sky, the surrounding field dissolving into hazy blue-green dusk. One of roughly twenty-five canvases Monet painted of the same grainstacks near his Giverny house through 1890 and 1891, each recording a distinct hour, season, or weather.

Artist: Claude Monet (1840–1926). Date: c. 1891.
