Haystacks in the Sun, Morning Effect (Meules au soleil, effet du matin), 1891 by Claude Monet

Haystacks in the Sun, Morning Effect, painted by Claude Monet in 1891, captures the warm golden light of early morning falling across a solitary haystack in a field near Giverny, its form dissolving into a haze of yellow and orange beneath a pale sky. Part of Monet's celebrated Meules series, the painting reflects his singular ambition to record the same motif under ceaselessly changing conditions of light and season, and its 1891 exhibition in Paris established the seriality of subject as a defining strategy of modern painting.

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