The Artist’s Garden at Giverny (Le Jardin de l’Artiste à Giverny), 1900 by Claude Monet

The Artist’s Garden at Giverny (Le Jardin de l’Artiste à Giverny), painted by Claude Monet in 1900 depicts a vivid bed of purple and pink irises running along a garden path that leads beneath rose-covered arches toward the artist’s pink and green house in the distance. Monet built the composition on a bold diagonal, using dense, overlapping brushstrokes to capture the saturated color of the flowerbeds beneath dappled late-spring light. Painted when Monet was sixty and firmly established as the leading figure of Impressionism, the canvas reflects nearly three decades spent cultivating and repeatedly painting his celebrated gardens at Giverny.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1900.
