Lagoa com Ninféias (Water Lily Pond) - Claude Monet
The Art Institute of Chicago, Estados Unidos
OST - 89x101 - 1900
In 1893, three years after buying property at Giverny, Claude
Monet began transforming the marshy ground behind his home into a pond, on the
narrow end of which he built a Japanese-style wood bridge. Adding both exotic
and domestic plantings, including his famous water lilies, the artist created
the garden that would be one of his principal subjects for the rest of his
life. Water Lily Pond was among the 18 similar versions of the motif that he
made in 1899–1900; their common theme was the mingling of the lilies with
reflections of other vegetation on the pool’s surface.
