A day with Claude Monet in Giverny
A day with Claude Monet in Giverny
« It took me a while to understand my water lilies.... I cultivated them without thinking about painting them.... And then,
all of a sudden, I had a revelation - there was magic in my pond. I seized my palette. Since that moment, I've scarcely painted any other subject. »
- Claude Monet, 1924
Claude Monet's garden at Giverny was his greatest artistic accomplishment and a catalyst for his work ; its idyllic pond became the setting for his famous Water Lilies series. This volume takes readers through the picturesque village and on an intimate tour of the impressionist master's home and gardens, providing unprecedented access into the floral paradise to which he dedicated the last forty years of his life.
