Water Lilies, the title of a number of paintings (1899-1925) by French artist Claude Monet. In his later years, Monet retired to his house at Giverny near Paris, where he painted numerous studies of the water lilies in his garden pond. While tending toward abstraction, many of these works, for example, the enormous panels now in the Orangerie in Paris, succeed brilliantly in capturing the evanescent quality of natural phenomena.
