Water Lilies is a renowned series of approximately 250 flower paintings by the French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926). These paintings vividly capture Monet's lush flower garden at Giverny, reflecting his mastery of light and color typical of the Impressionism movement. Created over the last three decades of his life, many works were painted while Monet grappled with cataracts, yet they remarkably convey the tranquil beauty of water lilies and aquatic scenes. Monet’s flower painting series is celebrated for its innovative approach to perception and nature. < /p>
