Island of Flowers near Vétheuil (Île aux Fleurs), 1880 by Claude Monet

Island of Flowers near Vétheuil (Île aux Fleurs), painted by Claude Monet in 1880 depicts a bank of the Seine thick with white daisies and yellow wildflowers, with a row of slender poplars tracing the far shore beneath a softly clouded sky. Monet painted two versions of this island view during the summer of 1880 while living at Vétheuil, using rapid, flickering brushstrokes that flatten the space and emphasize the pattern of blossoms across the canvas.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1880.
