Flowering Plum Trees is a 1890 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting depicts a lush landscape with a cluster of trees in the foreground, their branches adorned with white blossoms. The trees are set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a few buildings, which are rendered in soft, muted colors. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture that adds depth and dimension to the painting. The color palette is subdued, with shades of green, brown, and beige dominating the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. For more information on the artist's technique, explore the topic of glazing.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
