Les Peupliers is a 1896 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with trees in the foreground and a blue sky. The trees are tall and slender, with green leaves that are painted in thick, textured brushstrokes. The sky is a light blue color, with a few wispy clouds scattered across it. In the background, there are some hills or mountains that are painted in softer, more muted colors. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and calmness, with the trees and sky creating a sense of peacefulness. The artist's use of color and texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Claude Monet, who was known for his landscapes and use of light and color.
