The poppy field, Claude Monet

Claude Monet, visionary artist and master of impressionism, has left an indelible mark on the art world. 

Its famous nymphéas and impressionist landscapes are world-renowned. Monet had a particular fondness for poppies and wild field flowers, capturing the fleetingness of nature in his works of art. 

Poppies, with their vibrant red petals, symbolized this ephemeral beauty. They appeared in his paintings as touches of color, brightening the fields and the edges of paths.

Monet, painting in the open air, was fascinated by how light transformed landscapes.

The poppies, under the morning sun or at the golden hour of the evening, took different hues. Monet sought to capture these subtle variations in his paintings. The flowers of the field, whether it was poppies, blueberries or daisies, were for Monet an infinite source of inspiration. 

He painted these scenes with a spontaneity and freedom that reflected his love for nature. His quick and light strokes brought petals, stems and leaves to life, creating vibrant and realistic compositions.

The Giverny garden was Monet’s creative refuge, where he painted masterpieces such as "The Water Lilies" and "The Japanese Bridge". 

When visiting the garden, you will find poppy seed bags and planting kits with seeds to sow in the shop.
