Poppies 1886

"Poppies" is a vibrant oil painting created by the American artist John Singer Sargent in 1886. The work showcases Sargent's signature Impressionistic style with bold brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting beauty of nature. The painting depicts a field of vibrant red poppies, their delicate petals set against a backdrop of lush green foliage. Sargent masterfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and movement, capturing the shimmering effect of sunlight on the flowers.
