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

Poppy Field, Giverny (Champ de coquelicots, Giverny), painted by Claude Monet in 1890-91 spreads a shimmering carpet of scarlet poppies across a summer meadow near the artist's home at Giverny. A file of trees anchored by a single slender poplar rises against the blue hills of the Seine valley, beneath a bright sky drifting with rose-tinted clouds. One of four closely related canvases begun in July 1890, the painting belongs to the serial explorations of light and atmosphere that soon led Monet to his celebrated Stacks of Wheat.

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