Between 1883 and 1926 Claude Monet lived in a house at Giverny where he created a flower garden and a water garden, which provided the inspiration for his series of paintings known as the “Water Lilies”. The “Water-Lily Pond” portrays this garden, with its water lilies and the Japanese bridge in the background. In the series of eight large canvases on the theme, housed in the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, Monet introduces variations in light according to the hour of the day. Enjoy your visit!
