Haystacks, Snow Effect (Meules, effet de neige), 1891 by Claude Monet

Haystacks, Snow Effect, painted by Claude Monet in 1891, renders a solitary haystack rising from a snow-covered field near Giverny in a hushed, cool palette of blues, violets and whites, the crystalline stillness of winter captured with the same fluid, broken brushwork he applied to every season. Part of the celebrated Meules series, now held in the Scottish National Gallery, the painting demonstrates Monet's obsessive study of a single motif under the full range of light, weather, and atmosphere.

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