The light and color of Monet’s original oil painting Meadow at Giverney has been captured beautifully within this quality hand painted oil on canvas art work. Monet first saw this small, picturesque village through a train window between Gasny and Vernon in 1883. At first he moved with his family to Vernon then relocated upriver in Giverney shortly afterward. Here, he rented a house and two acres of land from a local owner. Later he would purchase the property and remain here for the rest of his life.

The original Meadow at Giverney was created in 1886. Monet has become one of the most recognized and influential landscape painters throughout the history of art. This beautiful, sensitive and uplifting landscape oil painting is an early example of what personifies the work of Claude Monet - An artist who broke with tradition to reveal the world in a different light: A place where grey and black did not muddy the scene and darken the horizon.

Meadows at Giverney captures the fleeting changes of the environment brought about by the transient affect of light and weather upon the landscape. Monet loved to depict nature and it was his devotion to it that ultimately made him one of the greatest landscape painters in the world.
