Description
Though most of Claude Monet’s most famous Impressionist works were painted in the French countryside, this artist also traveled extensively throughout Europe. In 1886, he spent a significant amount of time in The Hague, creating gorgeous Dutch countryside landscapes like Tulip Field in Holland. This work showcases a fresh look at the countryside with the new colors and textures presented by his new surroundings. The windmill in the background gives the scene movement, while the creek running through the flowers is more serene. The variety of color found in the fields add to the impressionist viewpoint of the rural scene. It’s just as captivating as his French countryside paintings and is a little-known gem in Monet’s astounding repertoire.
