Did you know?
Towards the end of his life, Claude Monet largely dedicated himself to painting his beloved garden at Giverny, a period during which he produced some of his most iconic series, including the Water Lilies. While less famous than his lilies, his depictions of irises from the same garden showcase his enduring fascination with the interplay of light and color on botanical forms, offering a vivid glimpse into the private world of the master Impressionist. These later works often exhibit an increasing abstraction, hinting at the broader trajectory of modern art.
