Claude Monet, one of the most famous Impressionist painters, created a series of paintings called Grainstacks. Among them is the masterpiece Grainstacks in the Sunlight, Midday, which showcases Monet's exceptional ability to capture the changing light and atmosphere of a scene. This painting is housed at the National Gallery of Australia.
The Inspiration Behind Grainstacks
Grainstacks were monumental subjects on the landscape, symbolizing fertility and prosperity. Monet was rendering the light and air surrounding the object, its distinctive light and atmosphere, which he referred to as 'enveloppe.' The subject became secondary to the colors and effects. He was trying to capture air and light with paint.
The Grainstacks Series
Monet's Grainstacks series consists of around 25 to 30 paintings, which he created between 1890 to 1891. In French, this series has been titled Meules, which means 'stack.' The series left a positive impression on many and several paintings were sold. The above-mentioned Grainstacks painting was sold for $110.7 million at an auction in 2019.
