Branch of Lemons 1883

"Branch of Lemons" is a painting by Claude Monet, created in 1883. The Impressionist style, with its focus on capturing fleeting light and color, is evident in this work. The painting depicts a branch of lemons with leaves, painted in a loose and gestural style. The light yellow and green colors create a sense of freshness, while the background is muted and serves as a backdrop to the vibrant fruit. This still life showcases Monet's masterful use of color and light, which he would later explore further in his famous series of paintings.
