TAPESTRY | Claude Monet (57"x57") Nymphéas

CLAUDE MONET (1840-1926). Nymphéas. Painted in 1907. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated ‘Claude Monet 1907’ (lower right) During the final two decades of his long career, Monet devoted himself with single-minded focus to painting the hauntingly beautiful water garden that he had designed and cultivated at his home in rural Giverny. In some two hundred canvases, he captured the shifting relationships among water, reflections, and light that continually transformed the surface of his lily pond, the infinity of nature matched only by the prodigious breadth of his own creativity.
