Abstract

During the 1890s Claude Monet created his series depicting haystacks, poplars, and Rouen Cathedral. For each of these French motifs he painted the same subject repeatedly to explore variations in weather, season, time of day, and atmospheric conditions. Near the turn of the century, after being inspired by the works of J. M. W. Turner and James Abbott McNeill Whistler and especially by their paintings of scenes along the River Thames, Monet continued his series method but with subjects in England.
