Claude Monet, The Poppies (fresco)

Description

The protagonist of the painting is this endless field of poppies that it decorates most of the field in the painting. The campaign in a Summer day in a typical impressionist landscape. Observing the painting The painting can be divided into two parts, on the left stroke dominant is the red of the poppies, on the right the uncultivated lawn, devoid of particular vegetation. Worthy of note is the technique created for painting poppies. In fact, if the poppies in the foreground are more than those at the bottom so as to suggest the idea of depth, Monet creates flowers in an  original way. No trace of the preparatory drawing, inconsistent brushstrokes  aimed at restoring the impression of poppies and evoking effects of chromatic brightness. The color is  dusted to define the and then the shapes are perfected  with spots of color so as to bring out  the large number of these flowers and give each of them a marked originality.
