Haystacks, End of Summer (Meules, fin de l’été), 1891 by Claude Monet

Haystacks, End of Summer (Meules, fin de l’été), painted by Claude Monet in 1891 centers on a great conical haystack standing in a mowed Giverny meadow, its thatched straw glowing warm gold against fresh green grass. A band of sunlit poplars and willows runs behind it, dissolving into the soft violet hills of the Seine valley under a pearly late summer sky. The canvas belongs to the famous Meules series Monet painted near his Giverny farmhouse in 1890 and 1891, whose exhibition at Durand-Ruel made the series an instant sensation.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1891.
