Poppy Fields near Argenteuil (Champ de coquelicots près d’Argenteuil), 1875 by Claude Monet

Poppy Fields near Argenteuil (Champ de coquelicots près d’Argenteuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1875 captures a lone figure gathering blooms among scarlet poppies and violet wildflowers on the plain of Gennevilliers, across the Seine from Argenteuil. Tall slender trees anchor the left edge while the meadow sweeps toward a low horizon of distant trees beneath a vast sky of rolling silver clouds. Painted en plein air during Monet’s celebrated Argenteuil years, the canvas shows the loose, flickering brushwork that defined Impressionism at its height.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1875.
