Poppy Field in a Hollow near Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1885 captures a sunlit dip in the countryside near Monet's home, its slopes thick with wild grasses and a vivid band of red poppies spilling across the hollow's floor. Rolling green hills rise on either side beneath a soft blue sky, rendered in the quick, broken brushstrokes Monet used to catch the shimmer of midsummer light. Painted not long after his move to Giverny in 1883, the work reflects his growing devotion to the fields and gardens around his new home as subjects for study.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1885.
