Monet is one of the most important painters in France, and most of the theories and practices of Impressionism are popularized by him. Monet is good at the experiment and expression techniques of light and shadow.

Whenever the light deviated, he immediately painted on another corresponding picture.

The characters in the painting are the painter's wife Camier and their six-year-old son Jean. Mother and son are collecting flowers in the field, enjoying the sunshine and being completely intoxicated with nature.
The characters in "Poppy Fields near Vittney" give people a gentle and rhythmic movement. However, the bright red patches in the painting are the essence of this work, which is the painter's truthful description of the light and color that come into view.
