Haystacks, End of Summer by Claude Monet captures the final days of summer as the haystacks stand in a golden light, ready for harvest. Monet’s use of color reflects the warm hues of late summer, with the soft interplay of light and shadow creating a sense of calm and anticipation. The brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the fleeting nature of the moment. This piece, like others in the haystack series, explores the passage of time and the changes in light that define our perception of the world.
