Poplars, Row in Autumn Claude Monet Date: 1891 Style: Impressionism Genre: landscape
Previously In Argenteuil, Monet had encountered poplars, trees that were planted 8' apart single file, so that they would grow tall and not sideways into each other. They were planted in a marsh by the River Epte, which was very close to Monet's house in Giverny. Monet painted the trees from his studio-boat that was moored by the trees, which he reached with a small boat he borrowed from Caillebotte. Before he was finished with his paintings the town wanted to auction and sell the trees, so in order to continue, Monet bought the trees and then sold them after he was finished with them to a lumber merchant.
