The Flood at Giverny (L’Inondation à Giverny), 1886 by Claude Monet

The Flood at Giverny (L’Inondation à Giverny), painted by Claude Monet in 1886 shows the winter waters of the Epte spilling across the meadows below Giverny, turning the fields into a wide, silvery mirror. The village houses and the slender church spire gather at the water’s edge beneath a pale gray sky, while bare poplars and the dark hillside tremble in the flooded surface. Painted a few years after Monet settled at Giverny, the canvas records his fascination with the seasonal floods that transformed the familiar valley into a landscape of reflections.

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