Claude Monet: Poppy field

I have a poster in my room:)
I think it is one of the masterpiece in the impressionist period
It is a snapshot.
The light is constantly changing and Monet was so good at capturing the moment at the poppy field
I love the landscape of the painting, blue sky and white clouds in the background, 2 people (a bourgeosis woman and a child) in the background emerging in nature, a small house hidden in the trees. Then another pair in the foreground:) The four people are all enjoying the hot summer day walking around the poppy field:)
It gives a sensation of a relaxing afternoon
