Branch of Lemons 1884

"Branch of Lemons" (1884) by Claude Monet is a still life painting that showcases the artist's signature Impressionist style. The painting depicts a branch of lemons with leaves against a pale purple background, the fruit rendered with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing light and color. Monet's use of vibrant yellows, greens, and purples creates a sense of vibrancy and immediacy, characteristic of the Impressionist movement. This work exemplifies Monet's exploration of natural light and his ability to capture the fleeting beauty of everyday objects.
