About this artwork
This painting is part of Claude Monet's iconic 'Water Lilies' series, depicting the water garden at his home in Giverny, France. The series explores the changing light and reflections on the pond's surface, a subject that occupied Monet for the last thirty years of his life.
Did you know?
Monet's 'Water Lilies' series comprises approximately 250 oil paintings, created during the last three decades of his life. He was deeply fascinated by the interplay of light, water, and vegetation in his own garden at Giverny, and he continually revisited the subject to capture the ephemeral beauty of the scene under different conditions. These paintings are not merely landscapes but profound meditations on perception and the passage of time.
