Water Lilies

Water Lilies is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower painting oil works by French Impressionism artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These paintings vividly capture his tranquil garden pond at Giverny, emphasizing light and reflection, key elements of Impressionist technique. Created during the last three decades of his life, many of the works were painted while Monet suffered from cataracts, influencing the perception of color and detail. The series exemplifies Monet's masterful use of brushwork and color to evoke atmosphere and mood, making Water Lilies a cornerstone of his artistic legacy and the Impressionist movement.
