Coquelicots Monet French Tapestry

Coquelicots Monet is a French woven jacquard wall tapestry rendering the painting by Claude Monet, Les Coquelicots, or Poppies Blooming, completed in 1873. In this scene, two pairs of woman and child stroll through a field of blooming poppies on a beautiful summer day; a large estate peaks from the background. Monet was the founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to open-air landscape painting. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons.
