re the moment he was painting was gone. This forced him to sometimes put the work away and continue it when the light was similar (Hayes Tucker, Monet in the 90s, pg. 77). When researching art works more carefully, there is a lot to be learned. Looking into a painting and finding out what is behind it makes the work a lot more interesting. Monets grainstacks have not only taught me about him as a painter and why he painted as he did, but also about France and what was going on during this period. His works are a beautiful representation of what life was like, and what Monet was experiencing right in his own backyard....
