In 1886, Monet was invited by a French diplomat to visit the famous tulip fields in Holland. The artist was concerned that the "inferior" modern oil paints would not be able to properly reproduce the bright colours of the fields. In the foreground of this view, the flowers are painted with thick, parallel brushstrokes in bright red, yellow, purple and cream, the colours glowing in the sunlight under a bright blue sky.
