From his fine realism of 1858, through sinuous trees above Bordighera, to his first series of poplars near his home in Giverny and on the River Epte.
poplars
Influenced by Corot, late in his career he painted several views of an avenue of poplars in the village of Moret-cur-Loing, forming an unusual series shown here.
In addition to painting one of the major Neo-Impressionist masterpieces showing poplar trees, he built a series of Post-Impressionist pines-beach-bathers of distinction.
His paintings of trees reached a peak in 1887-92, with his series of poplars. Among these are some of the finest Impressionist paintings.
