Look at the work

The millstone extends beyond the frame and transforms the landscape into a field of color

The gerbier occupies almost the entire height of the canvas. Its blue-purple base anchors itself in the meadow, while its top disappears out of the frame: the agricultural mass becomes a close presence, larger than the landscape that surrounds it.

The sky changes from powder pink to purple, the ground from cold green to blue. Light does not outline the millstone; it circulates in the straw in small touches of ocher, lilac, turquoise and colored white.

In W1288, the subject remains readable, but the proximity of the gerbier and the continuity of the keys already make the eye hesitate between object, light and painted surface.

Composition, touch and light

What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot

Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

01

A unique framing in the series

The Kunsthaus instructions emphasize that this version is the only one in the group where the gerbier is cut by the upper edge. This truncation gives the pattern an unusual scale.

02

A light constructed by temperatures

The lit side mixes pink, yellow and cream; the shadow contains blue, green and purple. The volume arises from these temperature differences more than from a brown model.

03

Le Clos Morin in Giverny

Monet paints the gerbiers installed each year by the farmer Quéruel on the Clos Morin property, to the west of his house. W1288 belongs to the systematic cycle of 1890 -1891.

Reference image

Read this specific version

Only one reference image is used. The exact scan of W1288 is provided in real WebP of 1200 × 723 px, at its available resolution and without artificial enlargement.

Composition01

The summit deliberately off-camera

The upper cut does not result from cropping the image: it belongs to the original composition and must be preserved in reproduction.

Color02

Purples present even in the straw

The colored shadows cross the gerbier and respond to the sky. A uniform yellow would cause the vibrant light of the canvas to lose.

Matter03

Short, tight, directional keys

The material follows the inclinations of the straw on the millstone, then horizontalizes in the meadow. This difference in gesture separates the volume of the land.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

The Kunsthaus Zürich documents Grindstone in the Sun, oil on canvas from 1891, 60 × 100 cm, inventory 1969/0007 and Wildenstein 1288.

Series01

The gerbiers of Clos Morin

Between 1888 and 1891, Monet returned to the gerbiers visible near his house. Part of the cycle was presented by Paul Durand-Ruel in Paris in 1891.

Reception02

A decisive work for Kandinsky

The Kunsthaus notice reports that Kandinsky saw this millstone in Moscow without immediately identifying the subject, an experience he later associated with the idea of an abstract painting.

Acquisition03

Joined the Kunsthaus in 1969

The museum acquired the painting thanks to the Otto Meister legacy. It bears the 1969/0007 inventory and the Claude Monet 91 signature at the bottom right.

Your reproduction

What the painter must preserve

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.

  • The contrast between blue shadows and pink light
  • The direction of the keys in the straw and the meadow

Presentation in your interior

A palette designed with the room

The very horizontal format and the combination of mauves, blues and greens are suitable above a sideboard or sofa. A pinkish beige wall, walnut and gray blue textiles extend the light without competing with the pattern.
