Water Lilies

Water Lilies is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet, created during the last three decades of his life. These artworks vividly capture his garden at Giverny, focusing on the serene water lilies floating on the pond. Monet's innovative use of light and color exemplifies Impressionism, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over detail. Remarkably, many paintings were produced while Monet was suffering from cataracts, which subtly influenced his perception and brushwork, adding an ethereal quality to this iconic flower painting series.
