Le Parc Monceau, 1878 by Claude Monet

Le Parc Monceau, painted by Claude Monet in 1878 captures a sun-dappled corner of this fashionable Parisian park, where small figures stroll and rest beneath the trees near a flowering pink shrub. Patches of bright sunlight break through the leafy canopy onto the lawn, framed by dark foreground trees that draw the eye toward the sunlit clearing beyond. The canvas is one of six views of the park Monet painted, three in 1876 and three in 1878, while he lived and worked near this fashionable corner of Paris.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1878.
