Ninféias (Waterlilies) - Claude Monet
National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, País de Gales
OST - 81x92 - 1906
From the Japanese bridge in his water garden, Monet obtained a
high viewpoint of the water and a correspondingly steep picture plane,
uninterrupted by the shoreline. The reflective surface of a pond with its
floating vegetation seems transformed into limitless space. In 1908 he wrote:
'These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession...yet I want
to succeed in rendering what I perceive'. This is one of three Monet paintings
of waterlilies (nymphas) purchased by Gwendoline
Davies at Paris in 1913.
