Poppy Field (Les Coquelicots), painted by Claude Monet in 1873 scatters scarlet poppies across a sunlit summer meadow near Argenteuil, where a woman with a parasol and a child stroll down the gentle slope. A second mother and child echo them on the rise above, while a farmhouse and feathery trees stand beneath a bright, breeze-swept sky. Shown at the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874, the canvas distills the movement love of open air, fleeting light and loose, dabbing color.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1873.
