Monet painted it outdoors and quickly — the canvas shows through the sky in places, because he did not go back to fill it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt was painted to be seen at speed.\u003c\/strong\u003e The National Gallery's own description is blunt about the method: the sky is sketched in chaotic strokes of blue and grey with bare canvas left exposed; the grass is denser, in short strokes of green, blue and brown; the buttercups are dabs of yellow, and that yellow comes back on Camille's sleeve. Stand close and it is a field of separate marks. Step back and the wind moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it hung first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Monet showed it in Paris in 1876 at the second Impressionist exhibition, as no. 161, under the title \u003cem\u003ePromenade\u003c\/em\u003e. It went from the artist the same year to Dr Georges de Bellio, the homeopath who bought from the Impressionists when almost no one else did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this is.\u003c\/strong\u003e A giclée reproduction printed with pigment inks from the National Gallery of Art's own open-access photograph of the canvas.
