Monet: Haystacks: White Frost, sunrise, 1889
A masterwork from Claude Monet's series of over 50 haystack paintings.
As well as being beautiful paintings in their own right, this series was an exploration of light effects at different times of the day on the same subject.
Image from "The Impressionists" (2006).
One of my interpretations hanging at The Picture House in Crows Nest.
