Peony Garden
1887
Monet captured the wild, untamed beauty of his beloved peony bushes at Giverny in this vibrant 1887 masterpiece. The thick, energetic brushstrokes make the flowers look like they are dancing in the breeze, a hallmark of his Impressionist style that prioritized feeling over strict realism. He was absolutely obsessed with light and color, often painting the same subject repeatedly to catch every shifting hue. It is a perfect example of how he could turn a simple garden corner into a riotous celebration of reds, pinks, and deep greens.
