À propos de l’œuvre
Vue de Giverny, par Claude Monet
Claude Monet · Giverny · 1886 · W1074
View of Giverny W1074hand painted reproduction
A green hill descends towards the red houses of Giverny, while two pink millstones occupy the foreground field. The paths, embankments and plots are suggested by bands of color rather than a continuous drawing. Painted in 1886, this 65 × 81 cm oil on canvas is kept at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art under number 2685 and corresponds to Wildenstein 1074.
Look at the work
Pink millstones in front of the green slope of Giverny
The clear field in the foreground is crossed by touches of yellow and green. Two conical millstones, slightly off-center, mark the depth before a line of houses with red roofs. The hill then closes the space with a long diagonal.
Emerald green, yellow, turquoise and blue build the meadows. The millstones combine pink, lilac and orange, while the facades and roofs concentrate brighter reds. The gray-blue sky calms this very bright palette.
The view is read in stages of color: the field, the millstones, the village and the hill follow one another without losing the sensation of a single light.
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.
Two grinding wheels as pivots in the foreground
Their size and warm color give the scale of the field. They guide the gaze towards the houses without closing the depth.
A hill organized by oblique bands
Cultivated areas are not detailed plant by plant. Green and yellow diagonals are enough to make the slope and fragmentation of the land.
The village condensed into red accents
A few colorful roofs and walls form a sharp line between the field and the hill. Their smallness keeps Giverny at bay.
Reference image
Read this specific version
A single exact image of W1074 is used in the sheet and as the sole media for the product. The real WebP measures 1,320 × 1,044 px and retains the native definition of the documented image.
Keep the two pink millstones in the foreground
Their position and warm contrast organize the entire depth of W1074.
Preserve the diagonals of the hill
They must remain visible in the greens without transforming into regular contours.
Keep red roofs small scale
These accents identify the village and balance the millstones without competing with the landscape.
Documented benchmarks

Before water lilies became his iconic motif, he explored the hills, fields, millstones and houses surrounding his property.
