"Water Lilies" is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower painting artworks by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet, created over the last three decades of his life. These paintings vividly capture his tranquil water garden at Giverny, emphasizing light and color through loose, expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Monet’s style. Many works were painted during his struggle with cataracts, which subtly influenced his perception and portrayal of the scene. The series is celebrated for its innovative approach to capturing fleeting moments and the effects of nature, embodying the core principles of Impressionism.
