The oil on canvas Poppies Near Argentuil depicts a lush field of poppies moving in a gentle breeze. Monet painted the red poppy and the green field in the painting with equally vivid colors. The position of the poppy field seems uncertain. Impressionists did not paint landscapes, but only subjective impressions of landscapes. Nothing in this oil on canvas is painted exactly – everything is just a suggestion. Monet’s choice of shades of green and red certainly evokes a certain atmosphere.
