Water Lilies

Water Lilies is a renowned series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). Depicting his flower garden at Giverny, these works emphasize the subtle interplay of light and color characteristic of flower painting within the Impressionist movement. Monet created many of these tranquil, reflective scenes during the last 31 years of his life, despite battling cataracts that affected his vision. The series captures the serene beauty of water lilies, blending natural forms with innovative brushwork that revolutionized modern art.
