Water Lilies 1917

Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" from 1917 exemplifies Impressionism through its focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color. The painting captures the beauty of the water lilies in his garden at Giverny, France, with vibrant strokes of color that evoke the shimmering surface of the water and the delicate blossoms. Monet's signature use of loose brushstrokes and fragmented forms gives the work an impressionistic quality, inviting the viewer to experience the scene as a subjective reflection of the artist's own perception.
