Description
English: Here and in nearly all of the autumn views in the series, the conical tops of the stacks point out into the sky. But in most of the winter views, the main part of the series, the stacks seem wrapped by hill and field. For Monet the stack was a symbol of survival. He followed this group with further series depicting poplars, the facade of Rouen Cathedral, and, later, his own garden at Giverny.
