Water Lilies

Water Lilies is a renowned series of around 250 flower painting by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These oil paintings vividly portray his water garden at Giverny, capturing the shifting light and tranquil reflections on the pond. Created during the last 31 years of his life, many of the works were painted while Monet was suffering from cataracts, which subtly influenced the colors and perspectives. This series exemplifies Monet’s mastery in depicting natural scenes through the distinctive techniques of Impressionism, emphasizing light and atmosphere over detailed realism.
