Monet’s Gardens at Giverny

From 1890 until his death in 1926, Claude Monet lived and painted in the small village of Giverny, near Paris. Monet planted extensive gardens at Giverny, including the water garden pictured here. Water lilies filled the pond and were the frequent subject of the artist’s paintings. Monet’s house, now known as the Foundation Claude Monet, has been restored and is decorated in the original color schemes selected by Monet. The house and gardens are open to the public during the spring and summer months.
