A gorgeous new edition with the cover printed on silver. Towards
the end of his life and much inspired by Japanese water gardens,
Monet spent a great deal of time in his beloved Giverny. Adorned
with poppies, blue sage, dahlias and irises, the waters were
disturbed only by bamboos and water lilies. His water garden was
originally created to satisfy a need to be near water, and to
provide a visual feast that could be enjoyed from his house. The
pond was fed by the river Ru, and weeping willow and silver birch
hung over its edges, caressing the fronds of the greenery and
blossoms below. Its famous green wooden footbridge was built across
the water and it became the central focus of many of his works. He
said, 'It took me some time to understand my water lilies. I
planted them for pleasure.' and so he began to work on what is
probably the most famous series of paintings the world has ever
seen.
