Claude Monet (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 87 x 92 cm - 1906 - (Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, United States)) (i) - Impressionism (i)

Size and Media

Water Lilies, also known as Nymphéas, is a series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926). The size of the paintings varies, but one of the most famous works in the series, held at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, measures 2 x 2 meters (87 x 92 cm).

Style and Date

Created during the last thirty years of Monet's life, these paintings are a prime example of Impressionism. Monet's innovative idea of creating Series paintings devoted to paintings of a single theme or subject is evident in this series. The repetitious study of the subject at different times of day allows Monet to showcase the effects of sunlight, time, and weather through color and contrast.

Location

Many of the Water Lilies paintings are on display at museums all over the world, including the Musée Marmottan Monet and the musée d'Orsay in Paris, as well as the Art Institute of Chicago.

Description of the Painting

The painting depicts Monet's flower garden at Giverny, specifically focusing on the water lilies floating on the surface of his famous pond. The artist's use of color and contrast captures the ever-changing nature of light as it reflects off the water, transforming the scene with each passing moment.
