The paintings do not focus on the grand Medieval building, but on the play of light and shade across its surface, transforming the solid masonry. Other series include ""Poplars"", ""Mornings on the Seine"", and the ""Water Lilies"" that were painted on his property at Giverny. Between 1883 and 1908, Monet traveled to the Mediterranean, where he painted landmarks, landscapes, and seascapes, including a series of paintings in Venice. In London he painted four series: ""the Houses of Parliament, London"", ""Charing Cross Bridge"", ""Waterloo Bridge"", and ""Views of Westminster"
"one is from the 'proper' 1890 harvest, the other from the 1888 harvest. Monet's ""Haystacks"" series is one of his earliest to rely on repetition to illustrate nuances in his perception across natural variations such as times of day, seasons, and types of weather. For Monet, the concept of producing and exhibiting a series of paintings related by subject and vantage point began in 1889, with at least ten paintings done at the ""Valley of the Creuse"", and subsequently shown at the Galerie Georges Petit. This interest in the serial motif would continue for the rest of his career. Although"

Claude Monet (1840–1926), a prominent leader of the Impressionist movement, stressed the importance of working outdoors and letting art illustrate the color and movement of the natural environment. Five landscapes by Monet are included in the Museum’s collection. In the 1880s and 1890s Monet captured the changing effects of natural light by creating series of paintings of the same subject in different weather and light conditions. His ""Haystacks in the Snow"" is part of a series of over thirty paintings of haystacks. Pastels, soft, colorful chalks,"

Van Gogh made several paintings of undergrowth, a genre called ""sous-bois"" brought into prominence by artists of the Barbizon School and Impressionists. The works from this series successfully use shades of color and light in the forest or garden interior paintings.

His earlier landscapes (Wildenstein Index Number 900-995, 1073) had included stacks [and also some more-accurately described hayricks: that is smaller piles of hay for animal-feed] in an ancillary manner. The general consensus is that only the canvases produced using the 1890 harvest (Wildenstein Index Number 1266-1290) comprise the ""Haystacks"" series proper.

The principal subject of each painting in the series is stacks of harvested wheat (or possibly barley or oats: the original French title, Les Meules à Giverny, simply means The Stacks at Giverny). The title refers primarily to a twenty-five canvas series (Wildenstein Index Numbers 1266-1290) which Monet began near the end of the summer of 1890 and continued through the following spring though Monet also produced earlier paintings using this same stack subject.

It was during this time that Monet began to develop the first signs of cataracts. During World War I, in which his younger son Michel served and his friend and admirer Georges Clemenceau led the French nation, Monet painted a series of weeping willow trees as homage to the French fallen soldiers.

""Complementing the teaching I received from Boudin, Jongkind was from that moment my true master,"" Monet later reminisced. ""It was he who completed the education of my eye"". This new way of seeing, a shift from a conceptual to a perceptual approach, formed the basis for Monet's ""Haystacks"" (1890-1891), a series of 25 works showing the effects of dynamic atmospheric conditions over time on a single haystack motif.
