Grainstacks at the End of Summer, Morning Effect (Meules au soleil, effet du matin), 1891 by Claude Monet

Grainstacks at the End of Summer, Morning Effect, painted by Claude Monet in 1891 presents two grainstacks of differing height standing in a harvested field, caught in the warm glow of an early morning sun. The painting belongs to Monet's landmark Grainstacks series, exhibited at Durand-Ruel's Paris gallery in 1891 to widespread acclaim and swiftly sold out. Its rich golden palette and confident brushwork mark a turning point in Monet's mature exploration of light as the true subject of painting.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1891.
