About this artwork
This painting is a late work from Claude Monet's iconic 'Water Lilies' series, depicting the surface of his water garden at Giverny. It focuses on the play of light and reflections, specifically of weeping willows, on the water amongst the lily pads.
Did you know?
Monet's 'Water Lilies' series, to which this painting belongs, encompasses over 250 oil paintings, created during the last thirty years of his life. As his eyesight deteriorated, his style became increasingly abstract, focusing more on the essence of color and light rather than precise forms. These later works, including this one from 1918, are considered a bridge between Impressionism and abstraction.
