Water-Lilies, Evening Effect", Claude Monet 1897-1899, oil on canvas 73 x 100 cm, Musée Marmottan, Paris France

"Nymphéas"
Water-Lilies, Claude Monet 1904, oil on canvas 90 x 92 cm, private collection.

There was a stream, the Epte, which came down from Gisors on the boundary of my property. I opened up a ditch so that I could fill the little pond that I had dug in my garden. I love water but I also love flowers. That's why, when the pond was filled, I wished to decorate it with plants. I took a catalogue and made a choice any old how. That's all." Claude Monet

Water-Lilies, Claude Monet 1905, oil on canvas 81 x 100 cm, National Museum of Wales, Cardiff Great Britain

"The effect varies unceasingly, not only from one season to another but from one minute to the next, since the waterlilies are far from being the only thing in the show ; as a matter of fact, they are merely the accompaniment." Claude Monet

Water-Lilies, Claude Monet 1906, oil on canvas 90 x 93 cm, The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago Illinois USA.

"The motif's essential is the mirror of water whose aspect is constantly being modified by the changing sky reflected in it, and which imbues it with life and movement." Claude Monet

Water-Lilies, Claude Monet 1908, oil on canvas 92 x 81 cm, Private Collection

"These landscapes of water and reflections have became my obsession. They are far beyond my old man powers and despite everything I want to succeed in conveying what I feel. I destroy some... I start over again... And I hope something will finally come from so many efforts." Claude Monet

Nymphéas"
Claude MONET 1897
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California

"It took me time to understand my waterlilies... I had planted them for the pleasure of it; I grew them without ever thinking of painting them... A landscape doesn't permeate one's being in one day... " Claude Monet

Ναι Ναταλάκι μου έχω πάει και έχω μείνει άφωνη,
αλλά δε θα το πιστέψεις δεν έχω ακόμη πάει ʼμστερνταμ, και
αυτός είναι ο διακαής πόθος μου , ίσως τα καταφέρω την
ερχόμενη άνοιξη...
