| book description |

In 1893 Claude Monet, a keen gardener, bought a plot of land next to his house in Giverny, where he wanted to create a water garden â€˜both for the pleasure of the eye and for the purpose of having subjects to paintâ€™. He filled the pond with water lilies and built a bridge at one end, inspired by examples he had seen in Japanese prints. This water garden became the focus of Monetâ€™s later career and the subject of some 250 paintings. Alongside an overview of the painterâ€™s life, Ross King considers the profound impact of Japanese art on Monetâ€™s working practice, the historical events of the time, the artistâ€™s fascination with painting bridges, and the personal tragedy that led to his ultimate desire to capture and immortalise on canvas a succession of ever-changing moments in his garden.
