Water Lilies

Water Lilies is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower painting oil artworks by the French artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These paintings depict his tranquil flower garden at Giverny and exemplify Impressionism through their bold brushstrokes and focus on capturing fleeting light and atmosphere. Created during the last 31 years of Monet’s life, many of these works were painted while he suffered from cataracts, which subtly influenced his color palette and perception. The series remains a masterful exploration of natural beauty and the techniques characteristic of Impressionism.
