Monet—
The Water
-
Lily Pond
(1899)
We've traveled from medieval spirituality to Renaissance realism to Baroque elegance and
Impressionist colors. Before you spill out into the 21st-century hubbub of London, relax
for a second in Monet's garden at Giverny, near Paris. Monet planned an artificial garden,
rechanneled a stream, built a bridge, and planted these water lilies—a living work of art,
an oasis of order and calm in a hectic world.
