HomeExploreArts & DesignClaude Monet's Water Lilies Paintings
Statistics
At first the bridge at Giverny gives Monet’s pond a clear edge and a place to stand. In the later paintings, lilies, reflected clouds and color fill the canvas. This selection follows that change from the Japanese footbridge to the panoramic Water Lilies panels. It brings together all eight compositions in the Orangerie cycle and the three Agapanthus panels now held by separate museums.
