This beautiful, slipcased volume offers an intimate
tour inside Monet’s home and through the idyllic
Giverny garden that inspired his most iconic paintings. Monet first spotted the village of Giverny from
the window of a train and then relocated to the rural haven outside Paris in 1883. An artist with a passion for painting landscapes and outdoor
scenes, 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. The beautifully vivid illustrations of Monet’s
paintings, his home, and the grounds give readers unprecedented access into the flowery paradise to which Monet dedicated the last 40 years of his life. Lovers of garden design and impressionist art are invited on an intimate tour via this handsome volume.
