Hyde Park 1871

Claude Monet's "Hyde Park" (1871) is a captivating landscape painting that captures the serene beauty of the famous London park. The Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and emphasis on light and color, particularly the shimmering reflections of the sky in the pond. The painting features a winding path, scattered figures, and a distant cityscape that create a sense of depth and tranquility. This work showcases Monet's early exploration of plein air painting, where he captured the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in the natural world. "Hyde Park" is currently housed at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum in Providence, RI, US.
