Did you know?
Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" series comprises approximately 250 oil paintings, created during the last thirty years of his life. Despite suffering from cataracts which severely impacted his vision, Monet continued to paint, capturing the ephemeral beauty of his beloved garden pond. The series culminates in the large-scale "Nymphéas" murals, designed to evoke a sense of "an endless whole, a water without horizon or shore."
