A Day with Claude Monet in Giverny 31143

Monet first spotted the village of Giverny from the window of a train and then relocated to the rural haven outside in Paris 1883. Monet was an artist with a passion for painting and landscapes outdoor scenes, and the garden at Giverny soon became the Impressionist master's greatest artistic accomplishment and a catalyst for his work. In 1890, Monet began renovating it, installing a picturesque water lily pond inspired by the Japanese prints he avidly collected. The setting of Monet's Water Lilies series—his most famous works—it is now the most visited garden of its size in the Western world.
