“Windmills in Holland” is a celebrated artwork by the famed French artist, Claude Monet. The painting was created in 1871, during a time when Monet was refining his distinctive style that later came to epitomize the Impressionist movement. Monet’s visit to Holland provided him with unique, fresh inspiration and a different perspective that can be clearly seen in this painting.

Monet’s technique in “Windmills in Holland” is of particular note. He employed short brush strokes and a vibrant palette to capture the changing light and weather conditions, a hallmark of his and the Impressionist style.
