Weeping Willow, Kimbell W1876hand painted reproduction

A red trunk divides in the center before bearing a crown of gnarled branches. Around it, yellow-green curtains descend to a strip of clear water, while the left remains buried in blues and purples. Painted during the last years of the First World War, this Weeping Willow combines the presence of a precise Giverny tree with an exceptionally free and expressive material.

Look at the work

The red trunk shares a dark garden between mourning and breakthroughs of yellow light

The structure of the tree appears in fragments. The trunk rises from below in reds, pinks and purple-brown, then divides into branches that turn to the right. The foliage does not evenly fill the space: on the left, the blue-green touches compact; on the right, yellow and orange pierce between the branches and open a brighter area.

The bottom of the canvas brings together horizontal green, white, red and black marks. They can be read like the bank, the water and the roots, but Monet refuses any clear separation. Several layers overlap, some thick and knotted, others fluid like a glacis. The viewer recognizes the willow while following the material history of each cover.

The violence of the branches never erases the observation of the garden: it gives the real tree the emotional weight of a living monument.

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.

Analysis of Weeping Willow, Kimbell W1876 - Claude Monet
01

A trunk reconstructed by colored covers

Red, pink, orange, purple and green overlap in the trunk. The shape depends on these temperature changes more than on a continuous contour.

02

A cold left opposed to a hot right

The Kimbell observed unifying washes that were colder on the left and warmer on the right. Maintaining this seesaw gives the composition its luminous movement.

03

Painted surfaces, scraped then covered

Monet sometimes works wet on wet, sometimes on a dry layer, and scratches certain areas of foliage. Faithful reproduction must vary the thickness and allow the lower layers to breathe.

Details and visual documents

Observe the material and the exact version

The additional images show the difficult-to-read passages in the full view and, where it exists, the actual appearance of the work at the museum.

The trunk, its knots and the yellow-green breakthroughsThe crop shows how the reds of the wood are crossed with purple, orange and green. The branches blend into the luminous touches without losing their direction.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.

Identification01

Kimbell AP 1996.02, Wildenstein 1876

The Kimbell Art Museum dates this Weeping Willow from 1918 -1919, indicates an oil on canvas of 99.7 × 120 cm and records it under the number AP 1996.02. The work corresponds to number 1876 of the Wildenstein catalog raisonné.

War context02

Ten Weeping Willows painted before 1919

The museum links this series to the mourning caused by the First World War. The Giverny estate had emptied, Monet's son was at the front and the artist sometimes heard the artillery, but he refused to leave his garden.

Provenance03

From Kojiro Matsukata to David Rockefeller

The painting belonged to Kôjiro Matsukata in 1924, was sequestered in France in 1944 then sold in 1947. It went through Sam Salz and the David Rockefeller collection before its acquisition by the Kimbell Art Museum in 1996.
