This monumental attempt to capture the losses and triumphs of WW1, the life and death of the soldiers, the spirit of France, all within the pond in his back yard is extraordinary and sublime. The water brings you in, you get tangled in the lilies, and you sink, sink, sink into beauty.
This is spectacular. Anyone who takes the time to watch will be enchanted by the story of Monets life and will better understand & appreciate the magnificence of his lifes work
Unfortunately these galleries are crowded with selfie taking tourists. It's abominable. There are staff in there telling people who are chatting to shush. It ruined it for me so I enjoyed Monets water lilies much better in other venues. Very sad but that's the world we live in.

I was amazed when I visited Monet’s water lilies. The brush work is so passionate and powerful up close then becomes soft with a little distance.

Debussy's Clair De Lune is a perfect partner for that lovely artwork!💕
Wonderful ❤!
His life story is sad and beautiful.
another great painter
The Musee d'Orangie is the only museum I missed when I visited France. And I visited quite a few.

I saw it. Meh.
Its in the eye of the beholder, Joel. Not everyone sees the same thing in the same way.
