Water Lilies

"Water Lilies" is a renowned series of approximately 250 oil paintings by Claude Monet, capturing his beloved flower garden in Giverny. These paintings exemplify Impressionism, emphasizing light and atmosphere over precise detail. Monet dedicated the last 31 years of his life to this series, often painting during his struggle with cataracts, which affected his perception and color choices. As a form of flower painting, the works highlight the beauty of water lilies and their reflections, embodying Monet's quest to capture nature’s fleeting moments and the essence of outdoor scenes.
