I invite you to dive into the beauty and serenity of Monet's Gardens, one of the most iconic works of impressionism.
Created by the renowned painter Claude Monet in his house in Giverny, France, these gardens are a true masterpiece of nature and art.
He rented this house in 1883 and it became his property in 1890, when it was bought by the artist.
As we enter the main garden that leads to the house, we have a shock of colors and smells, different flowers compete for our attention and harmoniously compose a beautiful garden.
To visit the house and gardens, we recommend checking the schedule as there is a period of the year when the space remains closed.
The flower garden called Clos Normand is located in front of Monet's house, full of colors and symmetries, it's wonderful.
Everything around is beautiful... On the other side of the road, there is a Japanese water garden full of asymmetries and curves.
Many paintings in which the artist portrayed can be found the famous Japanese Bridge, where the painter immortalized in his canvases using different angles of view and periods of his life.
The house, like the gardens, has its grand moment and subtle treasures.
We can find on the walls scattered throughout the house, Japanese prints that are part of the artist's collection, as well as many paintings by Monet that depict his gardens...
While Monet painted many places in France during his life, there is none as intimately associated with the artist as his private house and gardens in Giverny, on the outskirts of the Normandy region.
In his later works, Monet focused more and more on painting scenes from Giverny.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in France on November 14, 1840, in Paris.
He became a great painter, an important representative of impressionism, a movement that emerged in the 19th century after the advent of photography, alongside Renoir, Pissarro, Degas and others, with Monet as the leader.
It was one of his paintings, 'Impression: Sunrise', that gave its name to this artistic movement.
