Monet didn’t just paint this landscape...
Claude Monet (1840–1926) didn’t have to travel far to find inspiration.
At his home in Giverny, he transformed the land into the water garden that would become one of his greatest sources of inspiration — complete with a pond, water lilies, and the now-famous Japanese bridge.
For decades, the garden kept appearing on his canvases in different light, seasons, and moods.
