Description
Painted in 1917, Water Lilies by impressionist Claude Monet is part of his famous collection of waterscapes. In this piece, the artist explores the way the light of a setting sun plays against the water. He shows the mixture of colors, including soft pinks and delicate blues. The reflections of leaves in the water give us oranges and yellows, indicating an autumn scene. These elements combine to create energy and beauty in a natural place. It stands out even in a broad collection of the same beloved subject.
