MONET, Claude
(b. 1840, Paris, d. 1926, Giverny)

Haystacks at Giverny

1886
Oil on canvas, 61 x 82 cm
The Hermitage, St. Petersburg

In 1890-91, Monet produced a large series of paintings showing a haystack at different times of the day and in various weather conditions. In this earlier composition, the haystack already plays the chief role and gives the main notes in the colour scheme.
