About this artwork
This painting is one of Claude Monet's iconic 'Water Lilies' series, depicting the water garden at his home in Giverny, France. These late works explore the effects of light and color on the water's surface and the aquatic plants.
Did you know?
Monet created hundreds of 'Water Lilies' paintings over three decades, transforming his own garden pond into an artistic obsession. He even had a dedicated studio built to accommodate the large canvases, becoming increasingly absorbed in capturing the fleeting light and atmospheric conditions of the water's surface. This series is considered one of the pinnacles of Impressionism.
