Camille Monet au canapé
Like the bees we now fly to the next
beautiful flower: the painting: ‘Méditation,
Camille Monet au canapé’, Musée d´Orsay, Paris, – please
observe her hair and her hands! Compare with the ‘Meadow
scene’ and, please also observe the fingers!

bouquet of flowers is waiting for us in the next painting: ‘Portrait
de Camille au bouquet de violettes’, 1876-77, not signed,
(W.436). In this beautiful portrait, Camille has her hair done in a
similar way, as in the Meadow and in the Garden scenes. And again we
are amazed of the resemblance between Camille and Suzanne.

Portrait de Camille au bouquet de violettes |

Claude Monet returns to
motifs he has painted before, to find a new angle, a new light, a
new experience.
He paints several canvases in front of the same scene – in
different light, with sometimes small, sometimes great alterations
of what he is seeing. The Garden scene is a repetition of a scene
where he painted Camille, as well as Alice – and here – Suzanne. As
we have seen, this goes also for the ‘Meadow scene’.
Under the poplars, sunlight effect
When we see the painting ’Under
the poplars, sunlight effect’, 1887, (W 1135), we recall
similar paintings with Camille as staffage in the landscape. It also
gives vibrations towards the Meadow scene and the River Scene.
