About this work

Artist: Claude Monet (1840–1926)
Year: 1873
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 50 × 65 cm
Collection: Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Movement: Impressionism

A summer walk through a poppy field near Argenteuil, where Monet settled after returning from England in 1871. A woman with a sunshade and a child, probably his wife Camille and their son Jean, come down the slope in the foreground; a second pair stands on the ridge above, and the two couples set up the diagonal that holds the whole composition together. The left half is a scatter of red, the right a cool blue-green, and the oversized poppies at the front show how far Monet was willing to push a visual impression over description. He exhibited the painting at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, held in the photographer Nadar's former studio. It entered the French national collections through Étienne Moreau-Nélaton's donation of 1906 and now hangs in the Musée d'Orsay, where it is among the most recognised images of the movement's early, optimistic years.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Poppies (Coquelicots) in the public domain?

Yes. Claude Monet (1840–1926) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Musée d'Orsay.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Poppies (Coquelicots) painted, and in what medium?

Poppies (Coquelicots) dates from 1873 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 50 × 65 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
