Lilacs, Grey Weather (Lilas, temps gris), painted by Claude Monet around 1872 gathers two seated figures in the deep shade of a lilac bush heavy with pink and mauve bloom. Feathery strokes build the flowering canopy while the lawn beneath dissolves into soft greens, evoking the hush of a warm garden afternoon. Made in Monet’s Argenteuil period, it reveals his early fascination with filtered light and the fleeting moods of the open air.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: around 1872.
