This Fine Art Necktie was inspired by Claude Monet's "Il Parasole" and is handmade from 100% silk. A Monet masterpiece, this painting epitomizes the Impressionist concept of "the glance". It triumphs wonderfully in conveying the sensation of a snapshot in time, in this case, a stroll on a beautiful sunny day. The brushwork and the feathery splashes of pulsating color are critical in establishing this feeling of spontaneity. The portrayal of sunlight and wind also contributes to the movement in the scene. Working together to make this, n excellent necktie for any and all in love with art.
