Poplars at Giverny, Sunrise (Les Peupliers à Giverny, Lever du Soleil), 1888 by Claude Monet

Poplars at Giverny, Sunrise (Les Peupliers à Giverny, Lever du Soleil), painted by Claude Monet in 1888, depicts a stand of tall poplar trees rising along the Epte river near Giverny, their slender trunks silhouetted against a luminous dawn sky streaked with gold and violet. Dappled autumn foliage catches the first warm light while cooler greens and blues settle into the middle distance, creating a rhythmic screen of vertical trunks that anticipates Monet’s later poplar series. The painting reflects the artist’s deepening fascination, in his Giverny years, with recording a single motif under shifting atmospheric conditions.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1888.
