The Water-Lily Pond | MONET

$1,800.00 CAD
$1,800.00 CAD
Monet had already made his name as a pioneer of Impressionism many years before a water-lily had even graced the tip of his paintbrush. It was only after Monet moved to Giverny in 1883 in his mid-forties, that his most famous subject began to draw his attention. He built the pond in question for the purpose of growing the water-lilies, and installed the now-iconic Japanese style bridge above it himself. The scene continued to fascinate him for decades afterwards, initially as an entire scene before his failing eyesight lead him to focus on near-abstract interpretations of the water itself.
