The haystacks

From the February 2013 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the late 1800s, French impressionist painter Claude Monet painted his famous “Haystack” series, a collection of 25 paintings on this same subject. Monet was fascinated by how his vision of stacks of hay after harvest season changed minute by minute, season by season,  depending on time of day, weather, lighting, atmosphere, and perspective.
