Water Lilies
circa 1897-1898
Step into Monet's magical garden at Giverny, where he spent the last thirty years of his life obsessively painting his beloved water lilies. Notice how the thick, swirling brushstrokes of teal, violet, and emerald green dissolve the boundary between the water's surface and the floating pads. He wasn't just capturing flowers; he was trying to paint the very atmosphere and the fleeting play of light on water. These intimate studies were the stepping stones to his massive, immersive murals that would eventually redefine modern art.
