Apple Trees near Vetheuil Notecard

Claude Monet

The term Impressionism is derived from an early work of the artist Claude Monet. It is no wonder then how he has come to represent the movement as a whole for many. In this scene Monet captures the bright red apples that immediately draw the eye, while his longer brush strokes create the gently sloping hills in the background.
