Water Lilies

Water Lilies is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower painting oil works by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These paintings depict Monet’s tranquil water garden at Giverny and are central to his later artistic career, created over the last 31 years of his life. Despite suffering from cataracts, Monet vividly captured the shimmering reflections and delicate blooms, reflecting his mastery of light and color characteristic of Impressionism. The series remains a pinnacle of landscape and floral flower painting, celebrated for its immersive quality and innovative technique.
