Bring the luminous charm of summer landscape into your stitching frame with Poppies at Argenteuil Cross‑Stitch Pattern. Painted in 1873 while Monet lived in Argenteuil, this celebrated work captures a field of vivid poppies beneath a bright sky—figures strolling through the blooms add gentle narrative movement.
Claude Monet (1840–1926), a founding figure of Impressionism, painted outdoors to capture light, color and atmosphere rather than precise detail. In this work he blurred the contours and emphasized the sensation of the moment: “Here is a blue square, here a pink triangle…” as one commentary puts it.
This museum-quality full-coverage, fine art cross-stitch pattern translates Monet’s shimmering palette and spontaneous brushwork into thread—each poppy, each cloud, each graceful figure invites you into the landscape. The design includes regular and large-print charts, five finished size options, clear step-by-step instructions, and a floss amount conversion chart for planning. Ideal for advanced stitchers and art lovers alike, this project offers a meditative connection to light, nature and the printed motif of Impressionism.
