This 1917 oil painting by Claude Monet, titled "Water Lilies," is an iconic example of Impressionism. The work depicts the water lilies in Monet's garden at Giverny, France. The artist captured the fleeting effects of light and color, emphasizing the shimmering surface of the water with loose brushstrokes and vibrant hues. Monet’s series of water lily paintings revolutionized landscape art by focusing on the ephemeral and subjective nature of visual perception.
