Did you know?
Claude Monet created over 250 oil paintings depicting his flower garden at Giverny, particularly the water lilies, during the last thirty years of his life. These works, often painted outdoors, captured the changing light and atmospheric conditions, demonstrating his lifelong dedication to observing and rendering nature's fleeting moments.
