Grainstacks, End of Summer (Meules, Fin de l'Été), 1890-91 by Claude Monet

Grainstacks, End of Summer (Meules, Fin de l'Été), painted by Claude Monet in 1890-91 glows with late summer light, the monumental stack blushing orange and rose while cool blue shadows pool at its base and a line of trees closes the horizon. Monet painted the grainstacks standing in the fields beside his Giverny home again and again, tracking a single humble motif through shifting hours, seasons and weather. This close detail view centers the great stack from the celebrated series canvas associated with the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, a landmark of his mature serial method.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1890-91.
