Claude Monet - Springtime in Giverny 1890

« previous picture | 1890s Monet's paintings | next picture »

From Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute at Williamstown:
In 1883, Monet moved to Giverny, a small village northwest of Paris, where he cultivated his famous garden and painted the surrounding countryside. Touches of green and white in the foreground of this image lead our eyes to a screen of trees, through which we can just make out the white walls of a house. By using richly varied brushstrokes and excluding distinct points of interest, Monet draws our attention to the color and texture of the painting’s surface.
