Haystacks at Giverny 1895

Claude Monet's "Haystacks at Giverny" from 1895 captures the essence of Impressionism. This oil painting depicts a single haystack in a field, surrounded by trees and bathed in the soft light of a summer day. Monet's signature use of broken brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a sense of movement and atmosphere, highlighting the fleeting nature of light and the changing seasons. This work, part of a series exploring the same subject at different times of day and under various weather conditions, exemplifies Monet's dedication to capturing the nuances of nature.
