Poppy Field (Champ de coquelicots, Giverny), 1890-91 by Claude Monet

Poppy Field (Champ de coquelicots, Giverny), by Claude Monet spreads a meadow of scarlet poppies beneath a cluster of tall, slender poplars, with soft blue hills rising under a breezy, clouded sky. The canvas belongs to a small group of nearly identical views Monet began near his Giverny home in the summer of 1890, painted alongside his celebrated Stacks of Wheat series. Its loose, dabbed brushwork and close attention to shifting daylight mark Monet's growing habit of working on several related canvases of the same motif at once.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1890-91.
