About this artwork

Did you know?
Monet's Water Lilies series was not just a beautiful artistic endeavor; it was also a deeply personal one. After his eyesight deteriorated due to cataracts, his perception of color changed dramatically, leading to the more intense blues and purples seen in some of his later works, including this one. Despite the challenges, he continued to paint, driven by his profound connection to his garden and its ever-changing beauty.
