Description
View across an oat field sprinkled with poppies, near Giverny, northwest France, by American Impressionist Willard Leroy Metcalf (1858-1925), painted in 1888. Giverny was famous for its artists' colony in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Apart from Metcalf, other American painters to spend time living and working there include Louis Ritman, Theodore Wendel, John Leslie Breck and Theodore Earl Butler, who married Suzanne Hoschede, step-daughter and occasional model for Claude Monet. Monet owned an expansive house and garden in the village, these days a major tourist attraction, likewise the Hotel Baudy, centre of artistic life in the village's heyday, nowadays a cafe and restaurant with period decoration.
