Description
Claude Monet’s mastery of Impressionist landscapes is well-known, but “Resting Under the Lilacs” is a wonderful example that many of his fans are attached to. Rather than a vast landscape, Monet focuses on a small grove of lilacs in full bloom. You can practically smell the scented air just by looking at it, and it immediately calls to mind a springtime feeling. The blurred figures resting beneath help the viewer to feel transported to the scene itself. “Resting Under the Lilacs” instantly creates a serene, peaceful atmosphere in any space.
