Did you know?
Claude Monet's "Poplars" series, to which this painting belongs, comprised numerous works created between 1891 and 1892. To capture the trees in varying light conditions, Monet famously bought a group of these poplars at auction to prevent them from being cut down before he could complete his studies, demonstrating his profound dedication to his artistic subjects. The series showcases his mastery of capturing ephemeral light and atmospheric effects.
