Claude Monet dedicated the last three decades of his life almost exclusively to painting his beloved water lilies, creating approximately 250 oil paintings of the subject. These works were executed in his specially designed water garden at Giverny, where he meticulously cultivated the pond to be his muse. The 'Water-Lilies' series is a testament to his relentless exploration of light, color, and atmospheric effects, capturing the subtle changes of nature throughout the day and across seasons.
