Tulip Fields at Sassenheim near Leiden

Impressionism

The story

This comes from Monet's third trip to Holland. The two first ones were during the seventies. Young Monet painted canals, boats, windmills, like a guy still proving himself. Life went on. Camille passed away. Monet comes back in 1886. This is a very different Monet. Confident, bold, full impressionist mode. The tulip fields give him an excuse to go completely wild with color. That's exactly why he came again.
