About this work
Alfred Sisley executed two paintings of haystacks in the summer of 1891, a few months after Claude Monet’s famous series had been exhibited to critical acclaim in Paris. Notwithstanding his adoption of Monet’s subject, Sisley’s treatment of the haystacks is very much his own, offering a record of a particular location seen in the sparkling sunlight of a summer’s morning. ‘Every picture,’ Sisley wrote in 1893, ‘shows a spot with which the artist himself has fallen in love.’
