Meules

The Story

Claude Monet's "Meules" (Grainstacks) clearly demonstrates Impressionism's signature style, revealing his philosophy of capturing natural light and a fleeting moment of vision. This work is one of several series Monet made on rural landscapes, notable for artistically reinterpreting the changes of nature through an everyday subject. Its high price at a Sotheby's New York auction shows that Monet's work still enjoys great popularity in the contemporary art market, proving that the historical value and artistic influence of Impressionism remain as strong as ever.
