Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1891 · Scottish National Gallery NG 1651 · W1310
A curve of poplars starts from the right edge and moves away along the Epte under a blue sky strewn with white clouds. Trees and their reflection occupy almost the entire square format. The Scottish National Gallery preserves this painting under the inventory NG 1651, Wildenstein 1310.

Look at the work
The nearest poplars are cut by the upper edge, which accentuates their height. The row then bends towards the center and disappears behind the bank. This curve at depth is doubled in the water, where it becomes darker and more moving.
The clear sky and white clouds are reflected in the foreground in touches of blue, cream and pale pink. The foliage mixes green, yellow and purple; the trunks receive pinkish flashes which prevent the row from forming a uniform barrier.
W1310 holds a deep landscape in a square: the curve of the trees opens up the space, then the mirror of the Epte folds it towards the viewer.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The National Galleries of Scotland documents an 1891 oil on canvas measuring 82 × 81.4 cm, purchased in 1925 and now on display at the Scottish National Gallery.
Monet observes the row from the Epte with a boat suitable for working on several canvases. It can thus find a precise lighting effect when conditions repeat themselves.
When the municipality of Limetz decided to sell the poplars for their wood, Monet made an arrangement with the buyer so that they would remain standing long enough to complete their studies.
Reference image
Only one image is used: the exact Google Art Project scan of W1310, prepared as a true high definition WebP of 3000 × 3000 px from the source of 4001 × 4001 px.
The row should not be straightened. Its progressive inflection towards the center produces distance and distinguishes W1310 from more frontal compositions.
The sky remains frankly blue, but the trees introduce purple and the trunks pink. These shades prevent the palette from simply turning green.
In the water, shapes fragment and darken. The horizontal touches of the current must interrupt the verticals of the trunks and foliage.
