Claude Monet's "Waterlilies" series, numbering around 250 oil paintings, became his primary artistic focus during the last three decades of his life. These works were inspired by the water garden he created at his home in Giverny, France, and explored the ever-changing effects of light and color on the lily pond throughout different times of day and seasons, making them a profound meditation on perception itself.
