Water Lilies at Giverny by Claude Monet (1840-1926), in the Kunsthaus,
Zurich. A stunning, framed replica on artists' grade canvas.
Fragmenting his brushstrokes into brightly hued water lilies, this
famous work makes an instant impression. Monet created this well-loved
piece near his home in Giverny, France. Our authentic stretched canvas
replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of color, and
even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. Our imported
gold-toned, scalloped hardwood frame includes a solid brass museum plate
etched with the title and artist's name.
Claude Monet (1840-1926) Claude Monet s paintings are
considered to be exemplary of the philosophy of Impressionism, which was
to show one s perceptions before nature. The term Impressionism is
derived from Monet s painting, Impression, Sunrise and Monet himself was
a founder of French Impressionism painting. Claude Monet was born on
November 14, 1840 in Paris, but moved to the port town of Le Havre when
he was five years old. For much of his childhood, Monet was considered
by both his parents and his teachers to be undisciplined and, therefore,
unlikely to succeed in life. He enjoyed creating caricatures and by the
age of fifteen, was receiving commission for his work. Fellow artist
Eugene Boudin taught young Monet the en plein air (outdoor) techniques
for painting. He was the in initiator, leader and unswerving advocate of
the Impressionist style that can be seen in paintings such as
Bordighera. Later Monet paintings show his maturing method of producing
several studies of the same motif in a series, where he changed the
canvases with the light or as his interest shifted. He painted Haystacks
in varying degrees of light, the Seine, and eventually his Garden at
Giverny. He was especially fond of painting these controlled scenes of
nature. Monet s paintings such as Nympheus and Water Lilies at Giverny
were inspired by his home and garden in Giverny. He was buried in a
nearby cemetary after succumbing to lung cancer in 1926.
