EspañolWATER LILIES
(Redirected from Waterlilies)
'''Water Lilies''' (or '''Nympheas''') is a series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840-1926). The paintings depict Monet's flower garden at Giverny and were the main focus of Monet's artistic production during the last thirty years of his life. Many of the works were painted as Monet suffered from cataracts."Monet, Claude." Grove Art Online.
The paintings are on display at museums all over the world, including the Musée Marmottan-Monet in Paris,[1] the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,[2] the Art Institute of Chicago[3] and the Portland Art Museum.[4] During the 1920s, the state of France built a pair of oval rooms at the Musée de l'Orangerie as a permanent home for eight water lily murals by Monet. The exhibit opened to the public on May 16, 1927, a few months after Monet's death."Monet, Claude." Grove Art Online. Sixty water lily paintings from around the world were assembled for a special exhibition at the Musée de l'Orangerie in 1999.[5]
On June 19, 2007, one of Monet's water lily paintings sold for 18.5 million pounds at a Sotheby's auction in London.[6]
