"Water Lilies" is a renowned series of approximately 250 Oil paintings by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These exquisite flower painting works capture Monet’s garden pond at his Giverny estate, emphasizing the interplay of light and reflection. Created predominantly during the last 31 years of his life, many were painted while Monet suffered from cataracts, adding a unique softness to his technique. Painted on canvas, the series exemplifies Monet’s innovative approach to capturing fleeting moments and natural beauty within the genre of flower painting.
