Red water lilies scatter across a green pond under violet light

A wide horizontal view of the lily pond shows a dense surface of green and yellow-green lily pads, dotted with small red water lilies. At the centre, pale pink, violet and blue passages reflect the sky and overhanging foliage, while dark willow branches hang across the top edge of the canvas. A partial signature is visible at lower right. Painted at Giverny, 1917-1919.

Claude Monet (1840–1926) gave Impressionism its name and its longest career. From the 1870s he painted outdoors in the Seine valley and on the Normandy coast, pursuing the changing light of a single motif in series — haystacks, poplars, Rouen Cathedral, the Thames — and from 1890 the garden he built at Giverny, whose water lilies occupied his last twenty-five years. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Marmottan Monet, the National Gallery in London and the Art Institute of Chicago.
