Description
Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 36 1/2 x 29 in. (92.7 x 73.7 cm). Date: 1899.
In 1893, Monet, a passionate horticulturist, purchased land with a pond near his property in Giverny, intending to build something "for the pleasure of the eye and also for motifs to paint." The result was his water-lily garden. In 1899, he began a series of eighteen views of the wooden footbridge over the pond, completing twelve paintings, including the present one, that summer. The vertical format of the picture, unusual in this series, gives prominence to the water lilies and their reflections on the pond. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
