Claude Monet's "Haystacks- Snow Effect," painted in 1891, is one of his famous series of paintings capturing the changing light and atmosphere of the haystacks in his garden at Giverny. The painting exemplifies Impressionism, showcasing a fleeting moment of the haystacks covered in snow under a soft, hazy light. Monet's brushstrokes are loose and visible, creating a sense of movement and capturing the ephemeral nature of the subject.
