Poppy Field in Giverny 03 1890

Claude Monet's "Poppy Field in Giverny 03" (1890) depicts a serene landscape of a poppy field in Giverny, France. Monet is well-known for his Impressionist style, evident in the loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, particularly in the depiction of the sky and the field. This work is a quintessential example of Monet's artistic exploration of light and color, capturing the ephemeral beauty of the natural world. The painting's subtle palette of blues, greens, and oranges evokes a sense of tranquility and the passage of time. The artwork is currently housed at Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA) in Northampton, MA.
