Road near Giverny (Chemin près de Giverny), c. 1885 by Claude Monet

Road near Giverny (Chemin près de Giverny), painted by Claude Monet around 1885 follows a pale country road as it curves between a sunlit rocky embankment and a screen of wind-tossed green trees. Warm late-day light washes the sky in soft yellows, throwing cool violet shadows across the empty lane. Painted two years after Monet settled at Giverny, the canvas shows him turning the quiet lanes around his new home into pure studies of light, color and atmosphere.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926). Date: c. 1885.
