The Water Lilies (art series)

The Water Lilies are a famous series of paintings by Claude Monet, capturing his garden ponds filled with water lilies, reflections, and changing light. Created between 1897 and 1926, these artworks emphasize color, atmosphere, and natural beauty rather than detailed realism. Monet used loose brushstrokes and soft blending to evoke a sense of tranquility and the constantly shifting nature of water and light. The series invites viewers to experience the peacefulness of his garden and the fleeting effects of nature, highlighting Monet's mastery of capturing fleeting moments and the natural world’s serenity.
