Chapter 1 of 7
Step into summer. Monet painted this in 1873 on a hillside near Argenteuil, countryside he knew from long family walks. Not simply a field of poppies — a moment of pure sensation, light and warmth caught before they could escape.
It hangs in the Musée d'Orsay, an icon of Impressionism.
