Ninféias (Waterlilies) - Claude Monet
National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, País de Gales
OST - 81x101 - 1905
In 1890 Monet bought the house at Giverny, north-west of Paris,
where he lived for the rest of his life. In 1893 he purchased a large pond
nearby, which he transformed into a water garden. From 1899 he became
increasingly fascinated by the pond, its footbridge and the waterlilies
(nymphéas) floating on its surface. Between 1903 and 1908 Monet painted his
second series of water garden paintings. This is the earliest and most descriptive
of the three Waterlilies purchased by Gwendoline Davies at Paris in 1913.
