Monet moved to Giverny in 1883. He bought an old cider farm called Le Pressoir. A simple farmhouse with a kitchen garden and apple orchard. He kept only the apple trees and started to rethink and rebuild everything else. It took him decades.
While the garden was in progress he painted the landscapes around the place. This poppy field clearly grabbed his attention. He painted it four times. Nobody inside. No parasol. Just poppies.
