Water Lilies (Nymphéas), c. 1897 by Claude Monet

Water Lilies (Nymphéas), by Claude Monet captures two luminous pale blossoms drifting across a pool of deep blue water strewn with floating green pads, painted at Giverny around 1897. Monet framed the scene without sky or horizon, letting the surface of his water garden fill the entire canvas in shifting reflections of evening light — an early statement of the celebrated series that would occupy the artist for the rest of his life and reshape the course of modern painting.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: c. 1897.
