Water Lilies is a renowned Impressionism series comprising approximately 250 oil paintings by French artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These works primarily depict his personal flower garden at Giverny, highlighting Monet's mastery in capturing the transient effects of light and color. Created over the last 31 years of his life, many of the paintings were produced during Monet's struggle with cataracts, which influenced his perception and style. As a form of Flower painting, Water Lilies exemplify Monet’s innovative approach, emphasizing atmosphere and mood rather than precise detail.
