This is part 23 of a 27-part series on the works of Claude Monet:
Water Lilies 1897 - 1922
Part 1
Water Lilies (or Nymphéas) is a series of approximately 250 works by Monet. The paintings depict the flower garden and water lily pond at Giverny, and were the main focus of his artistic output during the last thirty years of his life. Many of the works were painted while Monet suffered cataracts on his eyes. During the 1920s the French State built a pair of oval rooms at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, as a permanent home to eight water lily murals. Sixty water lily paintings were assembled from around the world for a special exhibition at the Musée de l’Orangerie in 1999.
In 2007 one of Monet’s water lily paintings
sold for £18.5 million at a Sotheby’s auction in London. In 2008 another water
lily painting sold for almost £41 million at Christie’s in London, almost
double the pre-auction estimate of £18 - £24 million.
