Index Words:  haycocks
Place:  France
Notes:  Wendel was one of a group of American artists who followed Claude Monet to Giverny in the 1880s. The primary subject of this painting is the meadow of flowers, but some of the elements in the background are present in Monet's work too: notably the poplars and row of small haycocks.

Citation:  Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY
Index Words:  haystacks
Place:  France
Notes:  This overview of the village of Giverny was painted during a visit to Monet. The poplar-lined fields near the village may be the site of Monet's grainstacks. Some haystacks are visible among the roofs. The style is more reminiscent of Gauguin than of Monet.

Image: Haystack at Giverny, Normandy: sun dispelling morning mist
ID:  344
Artist:  Breck, John Leslie
Artist Birth Date:  1860
Artist Death Date:  1899
Artist Country: American
Title of Work:  Haystack at Giverny, Normandy: sun dispelling morning mist
Date of Work:  1891
Medium:  oil
Period/Style:  nineteenth century
URL:  http://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/detail.php?ID=11913
Citation:  
Index Words:  grainstacks
Place:  France
Notes:  Monet's meules series heavily influenced Breck's version of the same grainstacks: in their shape, in the angle of the light coming from behind them, and even in the low silhouetted building at left. but the color of the stack is more literal, the paint more thinly applied to creative a flat decorative effect. The Adelson Galleries, in describing another Breck Giverny painting (ID 345), quoted a long letter from William H. Gerdts who seemed to refer to this haystack painting and others: Breck 'painted a series of fifteen small views of haystacks, purportedly showing the same scene at different times of a single day, from morning light to moonlight, though, in fact, the project occupied three days; they were known collectively as Studies of an Autumn Day. Twelve of the fifteen are known today (Terra Foundation for the Arts), housed in the Musˇe Amˇricain, Giverny.'

Image: Grainstack, Giverny
ID:  345
Artist:  Breck, John Leslie
Artist Birth Date:  1860
Artist Death Date:  1899
Artist Country: American
Title of Work:  Grainstack, Giverny
Date of Work:  1891
Medium:  oil
Period/Style:  nineteenth century
URL:  http://www.adelsongalleries.com/sp98page1.htm
Citation:  Adelson Galleries, 1998.
Index Words:  grainstack
Place:  France
Notes:  In this other version, more accurately labeled, Breck's style is more impressionistic, but the overall effect is less abstract, thena the 'Haystacks' painting (ID 344). The Adelson Galleries quotes a letter from William H. Gerdts, who gives a useful context for this image. 'Many other early colonists such as [Lilla Cabot] Perry, [Theodore] Robinson, and Willard Metcalf, also painted landscapes in Giverny dominated by haystacks and grainstacks. The present picture by Breck of a grainstack is an independent rendering of the same motif, interpreted with considerably more color and livelier brushwork than Breck's fifteen-picture series, and much more descriptive of the local countryside, dotted with the homes of the local inhabitants and dominated in the background with the steep hills overlooking Giverny and the valley of the Seine.'

Image: Peasant woman and haystacks, Giverny
ID:  348
Artist:  Dessar, Louis Paul

Artist Country: American
Title of Work:  Peasant woman and haystacks, Giverny
Date of Work:  1892
Medium:  oil
Period/Style:  nineteenth century
URL:  http://giverny.org/museums/american/colperm/index.htm
Citation:  Impressionist Giverny: A colony of artists, 1885-1915. Musee Americain de Giverny, and San Diego Museum of Art, 2007, p. 113.
Index Words:  harvest, stooks, woman, rake, mistake
Place:  France
Notes:  A more egregious example of false labeling than the common meules confusion, this painting by Dessar, one of several Americans who settled in Giverny in the 1880s and 1890s, the 'haystacks' are more likely 'stooks' (French 'desmoiselles') in a grain-field. Nevertheless, we include it in our hay database for the beautiful foreground figure of a woman with a rake on her shoulder.

Title of Work:  Summer sunlight
Date of Work:  1894

Citation:  Eckert Fine Art Galleries, IN
Index Words:  haycocks, woman, rake, resting
Place:  France
Notes:  As with Dessar's falsely labeled 'haystacks' scene (ID 348), this lovely painting has a woman with a rake in the foreground, here seated in the shade with her tool on the ground. She is half-turned away from the observer towards some authentic haycocks in the right background.

Image: Botteleur
ID:  360
Artist:  Sargent, John Singer
Artist Birth Date:  1856
Artist Death Date:  1925
Artist Country: American
Title of Work:  Botteleur
Date of Work:  c 1875
Medium:  drawing
Period/Style:  nineteenth century
URL:  
Citation:  Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY
Index Words:  haystack, mistake
Place:  France
Notes:  The alternate title ('Gathering the grain') hints that the material being bottled or bundled is not hay. The Museum notes that Sargent is copying Millet. The rather formless (non-sheaf-like) shape of the bundle and the simple stack in the background are more hay-like than grain-like. In any case, the work of the young boy doing the bundling is wonderfully depicted.
