Painting: Water Lilies
Artist: Claude Monet
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 39.75×78.75”
Year: 1919
Monet spent the last three decades of his life painting motifs from his extensive gardens at Giverny. The water lily pond, in particular, inspired the creation of a monumental oval decorative cycle, now installed at the Muss d l’Orangerie, Paris. In the detail reproduced here, one sees not only the water lilies on the pond’s surface, but also reflections of the sky and the willows at the pond’s edge.

Painting: Bridge over A Pond of Water Lilies
Artist: Claude Monet
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 36.5×29”
Year: 1899
Several years after Monet purchased his house at Giverny, he received permission to divert part of the local Epte River through his pond in order to create a water garden. Soon thereafter he built a wooden Japanese-style bridge, to which he later added a wisteria-covered trellis.
