Haystacks, Midday (Meules, milieu du jour), painted by Claude Monet in 1890 captures two grainstacks standing in a sunlit field beneath a soft, hazy line of trees and distant hills. Monet renders the midday light with warm ochre and gold across the stacks while cool violet shadows settle over the muted green meadow. The canvas belongs to his celebrated Meules series, painted around Giverny, in which he returned to the same humble stacks to record the shifting effects of season, weather, and hour.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1890.
