The garden as a studio

Water Lilies

Claude Monet made his waterlily pond in Giverny a lifetime study into light, colour and reflection.

The story

Where water, air and light coincide

You don't see a fixed landscape, you see a surface that keeps changing. Clouds pull through the water, flowers seem to float and the horizon disappears. In this selection, that still returns to objects you can use every day.

What do we know about this job?
