Monet laid the foundations of modern painting

Leader of the Impressionist art movement, Monet's paintings are recognized as the purest examples of this style. Its importance is reflected in the price achieved for his oil painting "Le Bassin Aux Nympheas", sold in 2008 in London for 40.9 million pounds sterling.

Monet laid the foundations of modern painting, his brush did not seek to communicate a story or give moral instruction to the viewer but instead put prints on the canvas based on the sensations experienced by the eye. The pointillist brushstrokes, which he painted in his paintings with the property of a master, are the origin of modern pictorial art.

He made the painting observing the fields of wildflowers on the outskirts of the city that gives the work its title, this painting reveals Monet's passion for color. Paints of red scatter the flowers in a natural profusion across the lush green fields.

The composition is in the impressionist style, it shows a landscape in which the figures of Camille and Jean (the painter's wife and daughter, respectively) are outlined in the foreground with strokes of violet, black and yellow. Similar silhouettes reappear in the distance on the tops of hills more as a suggestion of color than as well-delineated figures. https://www.saleoilpainting.top/claude-monet-paintings-c-83.html
