|
In this painting of a meadow, the deep green and blue strokes of the grass, dotted with delicate pink flowers, contrast with the flurry of brushwork depicting yellow wheat glistening in the summer sun. . To compose this scene, Monet set his easel in the middle of a small island in the Seine River north of Paris, purposely turning his back to the barge traffic behind him, whilt the light, air, and atmosphere of a landscape - elements he referred to as the "envelope" - took precedence. |
