It’s this haystack
This oil painting of one of Monet’s haystack series
Sold at auction in New York for a total of $110.7 million

This oil painting by Monet
Broke the auction record for French paintings
This oil painting of Monet’s haystack, 72 cm long and 92 cm wide, is one of Claude Monet’s Haystack paintings. The series was created by Monet in the winter of 1890-1891 at the Studio Glaire in Normandy.
▲ “Haystack” was sold at Sotheby’s at a sky-high price, and the audience applauded

This is the highest auction record for Monet’s paintings to date
It must be said that this amount has peaked
And it is one of the 10 highest auctions ever held at auction
It became the first impressionist painting in history to break the US$100 million mark at auction
At the same time, it ranks as the 9th most expensive painting in the history of auction

The owner who sold this haystack painting is an anonymous collector
He was auctioned at Christie’s in New York in 1986
The painting was acquired for only $2.5 million
Dae-kun thought about it seriously
$2.5 million is now about 15 million yuan
15 million in 1986 was a very large number
It’s a very expensive amount of money

Monet painted 25 haystacks
Why did this one sell for such a sky-high price?
Looking closely at this haystack is wonderful
The oblique light outlines the shape of the haystack
The colors are rich and intense, and the picture is abstract
The grain pile is huge and thick
The haystacks shone golden in the sun
The picture is filled with the tranquility, harmony and vitality of nature at the same time

▲ “Water Lily Pond”
as everyone knows
Monet was one of the founders of Impressionism
His famous work
“Sunrise Impressions”
It’s a very classic impressionist work
How many people are the same as Dae-kun
I like Monet’s landscapes and characters very much
The sense of color is very well used
Especially the water lily series
It fascinated me deeply
▲Monet’s “Water Lilies”
His landscapes are light and bright
Observation is nuanced
Very keen for light and shadow and color capture
There is a charm to his paintings
I have seen the landscapes under Monet’s brush
I feel that the scenery of the world is like floating clouds
The natural beauty of the colors created
The artistic conception he depicts is very attractive
Dae-kun loves his green-toned scenes
The dark green of the tree, the new green of the grass
Vibrant and fresh
It doesn’t matter if it’s spring or summer
I was in a good mood when I saw it
He loves nature
Often go out to sketch
Drawn obliviously
The capture of natural scenery is delicate
Everyone knows that Monet had a garden
In the small town of Giverny on the Seine in Paris
There is a small two-storey bungalow
Beautiful scenery, The view is breathtaking
He bought the land here
As a garden and pond
I also got a Japanese bridge
Water lilies were planted in the pond
His series of 251 water lilies
It’s all drawn here
He often painted flowers and water lilies in his garden
He spent nearly 20 years in his later years
I often paint these scenes in my garden without going out
And his wife is also very famous
The landscapes he paints are wonderful
The depiction of the landscape is very natural
Anyone who sees such a scene
I’m going to want to go out
He will color pure and beautiful
Play to the fullest
The color tone in each of his pictures
It’s all so steady
Colors and brushstrokes come to life
Monet excavated charm from the beauty of the outdoors
The observation of the scenery is very subtle and keen
His paintings have no clear shadows
But the use of color is delicate
For Monet’s paintings
I’m stuck in it
Love his tones and brushstrokes
I also love the light and scenery he paints
His paintings couldn’t help but be saved manually
Paintings that incorporate emotions are alive
