The 'Water Lilies' series by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet comprises around 250 flower painting oils that vividly capture his garden pond in Giverny. Created during the last three decades of his life, these paintings emphasize light, reflection, and atmosphere over precise detail, embodying the core principles of Impressionism. Many works were painted while Monet was experiencing cataracts, adding a unique softness and blending of colors. 'Water Lilies' not only reflect Monet's fascination with nature but also his innovative approach to flower painting and the Impressionist movement itself.
