Floods at Giverny (Inondation à Giverny), 1886 by Claude Monet

Floods at Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1886, depicts the swollen waters of the Seine spreading across the meadows near his home, mirroring the bare winter trees and distant village spire in a still, silvery expanse. Muted greys and greens dissolve the boundary between land and river, capturing the quiet aftermath of a seasonal inundation. Painted only three years after Monet settled at Giverny, the work anticipates the fascination with water and reflection that would define his later career.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1886.
