Water Lilies ☱ Monet ☰ Canvas

Water Lilies (1899, Nymphéas) by Claude Monet is one of the very first paintings of his beloved water lily pond at his Giverny home. Monet began his garden at Giverny in 1893, transforming the marshy ground behind his home into a pond. Adding both exotic and domestic plantings, including his famous water lilies, the artist created the garden that would be one of his principal subjects for the rest of his life. Overall he created more than sixty views of the aquatic garden that concentrate exclusively on the surface of the pond. Monet once described how he had planted the water lilies for fun, never intending to paint them. However, once they were established, they became his only source of inspiration. He wrote: "I saw, all of a sudden, that my pond had become enchanted... since then, I have had no other model."

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
