Monet's "Haystacks" series, painted from 1890 to 1891, marked a pivotal moment in his artistic journey, as he captured the same motif repeatedly to study the subtle changes in light and atmosphere. He famously worked on numerous canvases simultaneously, moving from one to another as the light shifted, striving to capture the ephemeral beauty of the moment. This pioneering approach solidified his legacy as a master of Impressionism.
