Did you know?
Claude Monet's Haystacks series, painted primarily between 1890 and 1891, is one of his most famous and innovative. While this particular painting is dated 1884, it foreshadows his later intense study of how light transforms the same subject at different moments, pioneering the concept of serial painting. His home and garden in Giverny became the central motif for many of his later works.
