Water Lilies

"Water Lilies" is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower painting created by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These paintings depict his tranquil water garden at Giverny, capturing the shimmering reflections and delicate blooms with loose brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionism. Monet produced many of these works during the last 31 years of his life, despite suffering from cataracts that affected his vision. The series is celebrated for its innovative approach to light, color, and perception, embodying Monet’s mastery of flower painting and his fascination with natural beauty.
