The artist's garden at Giverny
Claude Monet
Monet paints his own garden at Giverny, the flower beds he designed and planted himself, blurring precise botany into rivers of pure colour running down the canvas.
Why it matters
Monet paints his own garden at Giverny, the flower beds he designed and planted himself, blurring precise botany into rivers of pure colour running down the canvas.
Look closer
Follow the diagonal path of flowers running from the top of the canvas to the bottom — Monet built the whole composition around that single sweeping line.
By this point Monet had become wealthy enough to design and maintain his own garden purely as a subject to paint, something almost no painter before him could afford to do.
