Water Lilies (Nymphéas), part of Claude Monet’s celebrated water garden series painted at his home in Giverny, captures a dense, sunlit stretch of lily pond alive with pink, white, and pale yellow blossoms floating among lush green pads. Loose, broken brushstrokes dissolve the water’s surface into overlapping reflections of sky and foliage, a hallmark of Monet’s late career shift toward near abstraction. Monet returned to this same pond obsessively for nearly three decades, from the late 1890s into the 1920s, making this exact canvas difficult to date with certainty among his roughly 250 water lily paintings.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926).
