Haystacks

"Haystacks" is a renowned Impressionism series by Claude Monet, featuring stacks of harvested wheat as the primary Landscape subject. Monet created around twenty-five Canvas paintings of haystacks between late summer 1890 and the following spring, capturing the changing light and atmosphere of the rural scene. Prior to this, he produced five earlier paintings on the same theme, including the 1884 Haystack Near Giverny. The series highlights Monet's mastery in rendering atmospheric effects using Oil paints and exemplifies his pioneering approach within Impressionism.
