Claude Monet, Spring in Giverny
Claude Monet
French, 1840–1926
Spring in Giverny
1890
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.
