MONET, Claude: The Gladioli

🖼 The Gladioli, c. 1876
Oil on canvas
60 × 81 cm
Detroit, USA

Vibrant gladioli stems burst across the canvas in loosely rendered brushstrokes, their purples and pinks dissolved into the surrounding garden atmosphere. Monet captures fleeting light and color rather than botanical detail, pioneering Impressionism's emphasis on perception over representation.
