Water Lilies

"Water Lilies" is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower painting oil artworks by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These paintings capture his beloved flower garden at Giverny, focusing on the tranquil water gardens filled with blooming water lilies. Created predominantly during the last 31 years of his life, many pieces were painted while Monet was suffering from cataracts, which subtly influenced his perception of color and light. The series exemplifies Monet’s mastery in capturing fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, making "Water Lilies" a cornerstone of Impressionist art.
