The Meadow Scene (Size 55.5 x 38.5 cm) |
|
The third painting we call ‘The
Meadow Scene’,
55,5x38,5 cm.
During the years 1886-1891
Monet was busy working with a suite of paintings ‘Essai des figures
en plein air’.
Our ‘Meadow-scene’, as well
as the two others, belong to this suite. Here Suzanne is standing in
an open field, it is late afternoon and the sunset lighting
now embeds the whole scene in warm yellow-rose-red hues. The
sun is standing low, giving a long shadow, painted in dark green and
deep lilac/red alizarin. See also how the sunshine is intensified by
the sharp shadow from the hat, and its band hanging down, also
giving a ‘micro 3-D-effect’.
The cold
blue/lilac/red/white colour on the shadow side of her dress sharpens
the feeling of warmth from the sunrays.
